Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools

are back in session. Oh the Traffic!

Southwest Elementary School's carline often backs up onto Holder Road. Their arrival time is 7:40 to 8:10, meaning traffic could start backing up as early as 7:30. This should not affect our arrival, other than our All day or Sunrise students, who are trickling, in and our Faculty/Staff. However, their dismissal time is 2:40 to 3:00, and traffic sometimes backs all the way up to Lewisville Clemmons Rd. Parents often begin lining up early, and the line gets very long. Sometimes there is a Crossing Guard or a Sherriff directing traffic, which helps, but that is not guaranteed. In the past, the traffic has improved after a week or two, but we would like to share a trick with you in the meantime.
