****STUDENT PICKUP CHANGE****
This year there will be a change in
procedure for everyday pickups. If you 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.
