STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP
The only place to drop off your children at Westside is the Student Lot at the back of the school. It is extremely dangerous to unload passengers at the median or by the curb on Briar Forest and there is no U-turn permitted in front of the school. In addition, the Circle Drive is limited to the Special Education buses or those dropping off handicapped children. We cannot allow other vehicles through immediately before or after school due to the congestion it causes. This is a fire lane and must be kept clear for emergency vehicles at all times.
These safety precautions also apply to picking up your children after school. We know it takes additional time to go through the Student Lot, so please plan to be in the vicinity of WHS by 7:30 am to ensure your child gets to class on time and have patience after school. Keep in mind that the school has jurisdiction within 300 feet of our property and students can be disciplined for being dropped off in unsafe areas. Please follow the rules and don’t put your child in a difficult, and often dangerous, position. We have their welfare at heart.
Please be sure to arrange timely transportation each day for your child. We do not have the staff resources to supervise students after 4:00pm. If there is a delay in getting a ride home, tutorials are offered after school and students are encouraged to attend. Otherwise, all students must be under the direct supervision of a teacher or coach if they are on campus after 4:00pm.
If you need to come into the building, please refer to our Parking page.
