****STUDENT PICKUP****
 If your child is going to be a pickup everyday, then we must know ahead of time so they will know what to do at the end of the school day.  Please notify your child's teacher in writing at any time your child's pickup status changes.  PLEASE DO NOT ONLY TELL YOUR CHILD ABOUT A CHANGE IN A BUS OR PICKUP...THEY MAY NOT REMEMBER TO TELL US.  Only you or someone you have listed on your child's registration paperwork will be allowed to pick up your child.  You must contact the school in person to allow anyone else to pick up your child.

This year, pickups will NOT be located at the front office.  Instead, all pickups will load out of the side door under the awning.  A Westside staff member will meet you at this door with your child.  Please do not block the parking lot or driveway.  Pickups will begin at 2:40pm.  Pre-K pickups begin at 2:30pm.  The parking lot/driveway will be need to be clear by 3:10 to allow for busses to enter the school campus.

All Westside busses drop students off at 7:15am.  MCJH and MCHS students are not allowed to board busses at Westside. 
Busses load each afternoon at approximately 3:20pm.  All not riding a bus must be picked up by 3:30pm.  Students being dropped off in the mornings need to arrive no earlier than 7:15am.  School doors are locked until this time each morning.  Any child that wishes to eat breakfast at school must arrive by 7:30am.
