🚨 New Security Check-In for Daytime Events 🚨
Beginning this school year, all visitors at daytime, schoolwide events (like Boosterthon, Field Days, Veterans Day, and class parties) must complete our security check-in process.
✅ School Board Approved Volunteers can RSVP in advance, and we’ll pre-print a badge for you to pick up in the main lobby with your photo ID.
📋 All other visitors will check in at the front office with a state-issued photo ID.
This helps us keep students safe while making event entry more organized.
ℹ️ Full details + FAQ are in the flyer below 👇
Our first big event: Boosterthon Fun Run on Oct. 15 (weather permitting).

This is Ms. Goodin, assistant principal of West Navarre Primary School, with an important message for parents and families. We have conducted a lockdown drill at school today as part of our regular emergency drill process as required by state law. We know that drills can cause possible concerns for our students, but we believe it’s important for them to know exactly what to do in an emergency and these practice drills enhance their safety. Again, all students are safe, and this is simply a required lockdown drill. Thank you for your understanding and support.
🚗 Car Rider Reminders — Help Us Keep the Line Moving! 🚗
We can make drop-off and pick-up quicker and safer if everyone follows these steps:
Stay in your car — parents may not park or exit their vehicle to assist children while in the line.
Have students ready — seatbelt unbuckled, backpack on, ready to exit from the passenger side when it’s your turn.
Keep the line moving — but do NOT pull around other cars; wait and follow the flow to the exit.
Front loop of the school is closed 2–3 PM for afternoon bus dismissal.
Latchkey pick-up begins at 3 PM — enter bus ramp from the front of school/Lowe Road only. Stay to the left of the bus ramp when driving to pick up.
See the attached graphics for maps and other important information.
Thank you for helping us keep traffic smooth and students safe!
We can’t wait to see everyone for the first day of school. Please take a moment to review our Back to School Family Guide one more time so tomorrow runs smoothly for you and your child.
