There are four ways Westwood students arrive and leave campus:
Bus - The easiest and most efficient mode of transportation for school is the bus. We highly encourage using the bus for transportation but understand that there are circumstances that make this not possible. (Elementary Bus Routes)
Parent pick-up and drop via car - We have a streamlined system for our cars. We have devoted most of our school resources in terms of staffing to make this safe, fast and organized. If at all possible, please use our parent drop-off and pick-up route (see below). The line looks long but it moves quickly, usually no longer than 15 minutes. Please drop off in our designated area. This is the only place we can ensure safety, supervision and organization. When you drop off at other locations, it slows down everything else.
Parent Walk-up - We will add this option this year on our playground. See the graphic below. If walking your child to the gate and picking-up at the gate is something you prefer, we fully understand but we want to make sure we do so in an orderly way. See below for more information about our safety protocols for walking kids to our gate on campus.
Walking - Westwood has very few walking students but if you live in the neighborhood behind our campus, your child is allowed to walk to and from school after notifying the school office.
