Drop-Off and Pick-up Guidelines
Wellsville Elementary School Safe Neighborhood Access Plan (SNAP)
This page describes the prescribed safe walking and biking routes to Wellsville Elementary School. It also points out significant problem areas and suggestions for addressing those problems. Parents, faculty, and buses traveling to school are strongly encouraged to use alternative routes other than primary walking routes. You may also view this plan at the UDOT SNAP Plan website by clicking the button below.
Walking (or Biking) Routes
We encourage students who walk or ride to use the sidewalks. There are few roads in Wellsville with consistent sidewalks. When students must walk or ride on the road, they should face traffic. We strongly encourage students who walk or ride to wear reflective clothing. Bikers should always wear safety gear when riding.
Route 1:
Students who live south of 400 N and east of Center Street are encouraged to walk
directly to Center Street and carefully cross to the west side of Center. Proceed north using the
sidewalk on Center all the way to school.
Route 2:
Students who live south of 500 N and west of Center Street should use caution and are
encouraged to walk north to 500 N using the sidewalks or walking lanes whenever it is practical.
Where this is not practical, and there is no sidewalk or walking lane, students should walk on the
left side of the road (facing traffic). Cross 500 N on the west side of the 200 W intersection to
access the school property.
Route 3:
The Redslide area has sidewalks throughout the subdivision. We suggest that students
walk along the sidewalk to 200 W. Once they are on 200 W, students should walk on the left side
of the road (facing traffic) to/from the school. They should cross 500 N on the west side of 200
W to access the school property.
Route 4:
Students who live north of 400 N and east of Center Street should use caution and walk
to 500 N Center Street and use the sidewalk on the north side of the highway to access the
pedestrian crossing at 100 W 500 N.. We recommend that students living east of the railroad
tracks cross the tracks at 600 N in order to avoid the 400 N 200 E intersection while crossing the
tracks.

Arrival and Departure Plan (Car Pools/Parent Vehicles)
Vehicles enter the lane to the east of the school and drive north to the turnaround circle. Turn and drive south to Drop off/Pick up lane. Enter this lane and drive forward as far as you can. Students enter and exit vehicles at the sidewalk curb only. Once students have entered or exited the vehicle, the vehicle pulls out of this lane and enters lane to exit. We highly encourage people to turn north on 200 West and enter Highway 23 to leave the school area.
Please remember the parking lot is where buses drop off and pick up students. By law these two areas must be separate, so parents can’t pick up or drop off students in this area. If a parent needs to come into the school during this time they will need to park in the parking lot. When coming back to the vehicle with a student, the student needs to be at a parent’s side.
Please be patient during this time and remember we have to keep all students safe. From the time the end of day bell rings it only takes 7 to 8 minutes for most students to be picked up by their parents. If parents pick up students on 200 West they must physically accompany their students across the road.
