This Transportation Management Plan (TMP) was created to minimize potential transportation issues that can arise during student arrival, dismissal, and occasional events at school. The plan is intended to foster awareness and provide specific guidance to the Wallace community with a focus on safety, reducing traffic congestion, and minimizing parking issues that could affect the surrounding neighborhood. 

Guidelines for student drop-off and pick-up:

• English

• Spanish

• Chuukese

On January 4, 2021, Wallace students will start the new year in a brand new school, thanks to YOU. This building wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community. By voting YES for Kelso Schools, you have given South Kelso students an opportunity to learn in a modern, state-of-the-art facility that will serve our community for generations.
