For the safety of your students and their peers, please use caution when navigating the Westminster parking lot and practice the procedures outlined here for morning drop-off and after-school pick-up.

Follow the Drop-off Procedures

• Use the RIGHT lane to drop off students.
• DO NOT cut into the right lane in front of the building.
• The first car in line must drive to and stop at the main entrance.
• The following cars should stop closely behind those in front.
• DO NOT stop at the Middle School entrance unless the lane is full in front of you.
• Once students exit the vehicle, drivers may merge into the left lane to exit.
• DO NOT drop off students from the left lane.

Avoid Lengthy Stops in the Drop-off Lane

• Longer student drop-offs (i.e., student permit drivers and those unloading multiple items) should utilize the visitor parking spots. All others must use the drop-off lane, not the parking lot.

DO NOT Drop Your Student off in the Parking Lot

• It only takes an extra 30 seconds to use the drop-off lanes and ensure our students’ safety.

Follow the Pick-up Procedures

• Use both lanes all of the way through the pick-up zone.
• Utilize all available right-lane curb space in the pick-up zone to allow students to enter the vehicle. The pick-up zone stretches from staff parking to the soccer field. See diagram below.
• Park in the parking lot if your student is not ready to leave when you arrive OR if the right lane is completely full.
• DO NOT pick up students from the left lane.

Be Cautious

• Heed directions to proceed or stop at crosswalks. Drive slowly through the carpool lanes in front of the building, and use caution when merging.

Stay off the Phone

• Never use cell phones while driving on campus. This exposes drivers and pedestrians to unnecessary risks. Our students are walking through the lot and crossing the drive.

Avoid Peak Times

• Carpool is busiest from 7:40–7:50 a.m. If you arrive before 7:40 a.m., your wait time will be minimal.

Dads in Prayer

Tuesdays, 7:15–7:45 a.m.
Led by Matthew Heironimus

The Bible instructs us to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances. The fathers of Westminster take this seriously, as we meet each week to pray for our school. We open by reading a chapter in Proverbs and spend the remainder of our time in prayer. It’s an easy and important way to get connected with other fathers and to lift our school up to an almighty God.

Moms in Prayer

Wednesdays, 8–9:15 a.m.
Led by Tiffany Robertson

The Moms in Prayer group is open to all Westminster moms. We use the four steps of prayer and pray specifically for our own children, the faculty and staff, and the needs of the school and the school community. The eloquence of your prayer is not what matters. The sincerity of your heart is what God hears.

College Moms in Prayer

Wednesdays, 9:30–10:30 a.m.
Led by Debbie Smith

The College Moms in Prayer group is open to all Westminster moms with college kids or new college graduates.
