When entering the lane to West Minico, you will see three lanes of traffic:
Middle Lane (Bus Lane) – Keep this lane clear at all times. It is for buses to travel to the back of the building. Please do not block the area where buses pass through.
Outside Lanes (Parent Drop-Off/Pick-Up) – All parent vehicles should be in the two outside lanes.
At the front of the school, there are also three lanes:
Lane Closest to the Building – For drop-off/pick-up only. Students should exit on the sidewalk side and walk directly to the building. Please do not park in this lane so traffic can keep moving.
Far Outside Lane – For drop-off/pick-up only. Students dropped here must walk to the crosswalk in front of the building to cross safely.
Middle Lane – This is a moving lane only. Do not stop, drop off, or pick up students in this lane—traffic must keep moving.
Alternate Option: You may drive through the front and park on the north end of the building. Your child can meet you there, which may help avoid congestion at the main entrance.
Your cooperation helps us keep students and families safe and traffic moving smoothly. Thank you for following this process!
❗ Do NOT send your child on the bus without knowing their home address — or having it written down and placed in their backpack.
🚌 If we don’t know where they live, we can’t get them home safely.
Thank you for helping us keep every student safe and get them home on time! 💛
The first day of school is Monday, August 18 — and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back to West Minico! 💙💛
✅ Doors open at 7:20 AM
✅ Class starts at 7:45 AM
✅ Bring your best Warrior spirit and be ready to Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Ready, Be Safe.
Let’s make 2025–2026 our best year yet! 🎉
