On the left, a man in a sage green t-shirt and khaki pants stands next to a woman in royal blue scrubs. On the right, a man in a blue polo and jeans stands with his hands clasped. The Dorchester School District Four logo appears in the bottom corner. If the woman in scrubs is Nurse Peters, you could swap in "Nurse Peters, in royal blue scrubs," and name the other two staff members as well, since names make alt text more meaningful for screen reader users.

WMES Families,

As many of you know, Williams Memorial Elementary is working closely with the St. George Police Department to improve traffic flow in our car rider line. This effort comes in direct response to concerns and complaints we received about our previous process, and we are committed to finding a solution that is safer and more efficient for everyone.

Change of this kind takes some trial and error, and we recognize that the adjustments so far have caused frustration for some families. We appreciate your patience as we test different approaches and work through this process together. Our goal is a car rider line that keeps students safe and gets families on their way as quickly as possible, and we are confident that with your continued support, we will get there.

As always, we thank you for your support of WMES.
