Safe Arrivals and Parking Lot Tips
Student Safety in a Community Effort
- Walk, bike or scooter. Wendat Village P.S. is proud to be a 100% walking school. We encourage families to leave the keys, and walk when possible! Parking is free on side streets where signage is posted.
- Front loop lines. Beware of standing or parking in the front loop along Reeves Way Blvd. This is an emergency fire route and is subject to ticketing and fines as per Whitchurch- Stouffville Bylaw. If you are entering the loop for any reason, you may be subject to costly tickets. Wendat Village P.S. is not responsible for town issued parking tickets incurred while on school property.
- Have a meeting spot. End of day dismissal can be a busy time. We encourage families to create a family "meeting spot" near the edge of the school property to alleviate congestion, and to help avoid creating a parking lot backlog.
Free area parking
Please note that on-street parking is available within walking distance of Wendat Village P.S. All streets marked in green on the map below offer free 3-hour parking. Please obey town signage and parking bylaws when parking your vehicle.
Pick up and drop off support
Staff in orange vests will help students to the back tarmac or kindergarten gate.
If you are dropping off/picking up students in Grades 4-8, kindly park on a side street.
