Wednesday Wire, August 12, 2026

Parents,

We had great first days of school, and we are excited to have all our ECC students join us today!

The Wednesday Wire is our weekly communication with parents. The Wednesday Wire features weekly announcements, reminders, a glimpse at the calendar for the next month, and a link to flyers with detailed information about upcoming events and deadlines. Please make sure to take time each week to look through The Wednesday Wire so you can stay informed.

Don't forget to follow us on social media to see back to school pictures and all that is happening throughout the school year!

We are grateful for the many parents and grandparents who generously give their time to serve our school community. Anyone wishing to volunteer in any capacity at St. Louis School (library, dining hall, coaching, field trip driving, etc.) must have current VIRTUS training and a signed Code of Conduct on the VIRTUS website. Step-by-step instructions for completing both requirements can be found in today’s Wednesday Wire. Thank you for helping us keep our school a safe and supportive environment for all students.

Carpool Notes:

Please do not park on White Station or Shady Grove during arrival or dismissal.

Please do not block our neighbors’ driveways during dismissal.

For everyone’s safety, please do not walk up to the area where students gather after school to pick up your child. If you are picking up on foot, please use the designated Park and Pick Up option instead. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and orderly for all students.

If you are choosing the Park and Pick up option, please make note of the no parking signs on Shady Grove.

Permission to Walk from School: It is imperative that the school personnel are aware of where each child is to be dismissed at the end of the school day. It is in the interest of each student’s safety that we require this note be sent into the school office each school year. Only students returning this form will be allowed to walk from campus to a home in the neighborhood. Students may NOT walk to neighboring streets to be picked up. Students may only walk to their home if it is within a reasonable distance from the school. We do have the Park and Pick Up option where parents can park, and their child can be waiting at the dining hall entrance. Please return this form to the school office if your child is walking home from school. https://stlouismemphis.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Permission-to-Walk-from-School.pdf

Please place your carpool name tag on the passenger side visor of your vehicle during carpool and please keep it visible until your child/children is/are in your car!
