What a fantastic first week at Alexander Wilson! Thank you for your patience and support as we navigated the new Weapons Detection System, our new bus app, and usual back-to-school routines.
Please note the following arrival procedures for tomorrow:
Drop-Off: ALL students must arrive via the car line or school bus moving forward. Parents are not permitted to walk students into the building during morning arrival unless you have direct permission from Dr. Westmoreland.
Tardies (7:55 AM – 8:10 AM): Students arriving during this window are considered tardy. Please park in the front or side lot, walk your child through the Weapons Detection System at the side entrance (brown awning), and check them in at the main office.
Late Arrivals (After 8:10 AM): All entry shifts exclusively to the main front doors (white awning). Late arrivals/guardians/visitors will still have to walk through the Weapons Detections System.
Let's make it a fabulous Friday!

Good evening bus parents. We wanted to let you know that there are a couple changes to two routes starting tomorrow morning. If your child's bus number and time has changed, they will have a letter. This will only impact a small amount of students from bus 53. The areas that are impacted are the George Bason Rd/Quarry Rd and Country Club Trail/Pebble Drive. For bus 192 students, this will minimally impact your time (maybe up to 10 minutes). For bus 53, this may cause the bus to be 10-15 minutes different from the recent times for a small group of students. This starts tomorrow morning. This does not impact bus 24/155 or bus 88.
Parents, the Here Comes the Bus app has had several issues. We are hoping these issues will resolve in the first few weeks of school. We have gotten several reports of issues and we are very sorry for this. All the things you are doing is right but it is not working perfectly. We apologize and hope it will work correctly soon.
Kindergarten Open House/Meet the Teacher is tonight from 5-6 at AWE:
You can view students' assigned teacher(s) in Infinite Campus or we will tell you when you arrive. Please enter at the brown awning as all adults/students will have to walk through our Weapons Detections System.

Buses all left by 2:55 today. They may be somewhat delayed. Thank you for your patience.
Buses are running about 15 minutes late. They left the school at staggered times but all students have been loaded and have left the school on their bus. Thank you for your patience.
Bus 155 was broken down. They are back on track. We apologize for the delay.
Buses are running behind today. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Monday (8/24): All parents are welcome to walk their students into the building.
Tuesday – Thursday (8/25 – 8/27): Only Kindergarten parents may walk their students inside.
Friday (8/28): No parents are permitted inside. All students must arrive via the car rider line or school bus.
***Note: All parents and students entering the building must pass through a Weapons Detection System, located at either the side front entrance (under the brown awning) or the rear car rider entrance.
Good evening, families! Please read all. I am happy to inform you that when your child is added to a bus route the information will be added to Here Comes the Bus. Please keep a check on the application throughout the weekend for possible bus updates. If they are added during the weekend, that means they can ride Monday. Mrs. Corcoran will continue to update families in addition to this app. If you receive an update on Here Comes the Bus during a school day and would like to make sure your child rides home on the bus, please complete the change of transportation form in the parent updates and reference the Here Comes the Bus app update and the bus number for your child.

That moment when you bust into a Monday staff meeting with BIG news! 🎉 We're proud to share that Taylor Corcoran from Alexander Wilson Elementary is the 2026-2027 ABSS Assistant Principal of the Year! Since Day 1 on the job, Mrs. Corcoran has been "all-in" for her staff and students, making a tremendous impact on the school community. As Principal Westmoreland stated, she and the staff always knew how great Taylor was, but now it is district-official.
