WGES Walker Registration 2026-27: Students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and THEIR siblings will have the option of being afternoon walkers. Walkers is only an option for afternoon pick-up. Walker parents MUST park in a parking space and stand with their walker signs outside the building at the school's second entrance, near the Music Room. Be prepared to show your I.D. when picking up for walkers. Only individuals on the walker checkout sheet will be permitted to pick up a student. Parents will not be allowed inside the building during walkers...rain or shine, so be prepared. Walker parents or approved individuals must have their Official WGES Walker I.D. sign from the school in order to pick up at Walkers. This is a safety measure for our students. Walkers must be picked up by no later than 3:30 and be safely escorted to their cars by parents/designees for departure. We ask that parents/designees depart as soon as possible.

Please note that there is at least a one-day lag in signing up for walkers and getting on the list. Parents MUST have the walker ID card in order to pick up at walkers. Please be sure you always have the ID card at pick-up. This is our safety measure for walker pick-up. At any time, you may be asked to provide other identification in order to pick up at walkers.
