West Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

Thank you for reviewing our updated procedures for drop-off and pick-up. Our number one goal is the safety of our West students!

Beginning Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the middle and left lanes of the traffic circle will be blocked with cones. All vehicles dropping off and picking up students will need to use the right-hand lane. Adults are expected to stay inside their vehicles during this time. ONLY pull through the drop-off/pick-up lane if your student(s) can independently get in and out of your vehicle. If you need to get out to talk to a teacher or go into the school building, please park in the parking lot. 

Morning Drop-off

  • Morning Drop-Off begins at 8:00 AM for all students

  • If your child needs to arrive prior to this time, then please check out our Books and Games Morning Program (which kids love!!)

  • Pull your vehicle all of the way forward to the curb by the construction fence to unload your student(s).

  • Leave minimal space between vehicles to allow as many drop-offs as possible at one time.

  • Leave space for the cross-walks to be used by adults and children– Do not park in the cross-walk. 

  • As soon as your student(s) has exited your vehicle, please pull forward to the road that the next car may unload. 

  • Students should enter through the front doors. Please do not drop your students off on the West playground (by the church).

  • ONLY pre-school students may be dropped off on the West playground. This is because preschool students must be brought to the school doors by an adult.

  • Parking is NOT allowed curbside! Please park in the parking lot if you need to stay longer or get out of your car with your child. This will help keep traffic moving!

Afternoon Pick-Up– Adults Staying in Cars

  • Pull your vehicle all of the way forward to the curb by the construction fence to load your student(s).

  • Leave minimal space between vehicles to allow as many pick-ups as possible at one time.

  • As soon as your student(s) has safely entered your vehicle, please pull forward to the road so that traffic flow continues moving. 

  • No parking in the pick-up lane. If you need to get out of your car for any reason, please use the parking lot to park and walk up to the building. We are trying to keep traffic moving quickly and safely for everyone.

Afternoon Pick-Up– Adults Walking up to the Building

  • Please stay on the front walkway– Do not enter the playground area!

  • Stand to the sides of the front walkway to make room for teachers and students (see graphic)

  • Let the teacher know before leaving with your student(s)

  • Park your car in the parking lot, not in the pick-up lane.  

Please follow the procedures to help ensure the safety of all. Thanks!!

Late Student Arrivals and Parent Pick-up

If your student is arriving at school after the start of the day, 8:30 AM, then he/she/they must be signed into the office by an adult. Please do not send your child into the building unaccompanied.

Our school day ends at 3:36 PM. Please pick your child(ren) up promptly at the end of the day. Our office and administrative staff often have other obligations, and we cannot guarantee that there will be supervision.
