Big changes are coming to Ash Grove Schools! Construction on the new Ash Grove Elementary Multipurpose Safe Room will start on Monday, January 19th and run through December 2026. During the construction process, we will lose access to half of the existing parking lot. Please note these important changes starting next week to help accommodate our progress.
Parents will enter using the right lane (current bus lane) to drop off and pick up students. Cars will exit out onto Prairie Lane.
Due to this change, parents should plan to have students load and unload on the DRIVER’S side of the car.
Buses will enter in the left lane (current car line) and load/unload students along the restricted safe zone.
To allow for bus accessibility and keep traffic flowing, cars WILL NOT be allowed to park/wait on Maple Lane in front of the parking lot and Ash Grove High School.
Due to the limited parking and end of day congestion, parents WILL NOT be able to arrive early or park to wait for dismissal.
Parents picking up AGE students ONLY may access the parking lot starting at 3:20.
Parents picking up AGE students AND BDE shuttle students should access the parking lot after 3:40.
In order to keep traffic moving, parents will not be able to park after loading their AGE students to wait for the shuttles.
In the mornings, students may be dropped off at their regular times using the new car lane. Parents will not be able to park andwalk their students into the building.
Shuttle service will still be available for students going to BDE. If possible, parents are encouraged to transport students to BDE to limit congestion in the AGE parking lot. For student safety, BDE students must be released at the drop off spot and may not be released to walk across the parking lot and bus lanes.
LIMITED visitor parking will be available in the main parking lot when needing to access the Ash Grove Elementary School during the day. Thank you for your flexibility and patience through our construction and betterment of the district. Your support with these changes and taking a little extra time during drop off and pick up is greatly appreciated as we seek to keep students, staff and drivers safe during the building process.
Welcome to a brand new school year! As we open our doors to another season of learning, growth, and opportunity, we do so with a shared commitment to Building Bright Futures—for every student, every day.
At Ash Grove Elementary we believe that education is not just about academics, but about nurturing the whole child. This year, we are especially focused on creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where students feel empowered to take risks, think critically, and develop the skills they need to thrive—both in the classroom and beyond.
We are excited to welcome back our returning students and extend a warm hello to all the new families joining our community. Together—with your support and involvement—we know we can make this year one of the most impactful yet.
Please take a moment to review the important information on this site. We look forward to working alongside you to ensure that every child has the opportunity to shine.
Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!
Sincerely,
Dr. Hartman, Ash Grove Elementary Principal
