Dear WGHS Families,
This letter is to inform you of the campus driving/parking procedures for the 23-24 school year. Please read the following information carefully with your child, and reference the Campus Map as needed.
All students with a valid driver's license who wish to park on campus must purchase a parking pass for $30 ($15 for those students who spend half of their day or less on campus). The money for the parking passes goes towards that student's prom fund. Any student who parks on campus without a parking pass may be subject to discipline. For a student to receive a parking pass, they must first fill out the following FORM using their westg.org email. Once the form is submitted the fee will appear in Infinite Campus. Once the fee is paid, students may pick-up their parking pass Monday through Friday in the high school main office starting the week of August 8th (7:30am - 2:30am). Students will be assigned to park in either LOT A or B based on the following criteria:
All seniors will be assigned to LOT A. This is the lot near the main entrance and adjacent to the library. Additionally, students who arrive late to school (Excel TECC, CCP, etc.) may also be assigned to park in lot A. Students should not park in the first row of spaces closest to the building in lot A, as those are reserved for visitors and staff.
All other students (including juniors and sophomores) will be assigned to park in LOT B (west lot closest to route 306).
We ask that students do NOT park in LOT C (closest to practice fields). This is our designated area for staff parking as well as the BUS area. Any exceptions to this rule must be approved by the assistant principal. Students who park in lot C without permission may be subject to discipline.
We would prefer that parents/guardians who drop off/pick up their child do so at the main entrance (south side of the building), by following the one-way traffic pattern. However, we are aware that it may be easier for parents who have children at both the middle school and high school to drop off/pick up their high school child off at the north entrance, near the practice fields. If this applies to you, please be sure not to enter the BUS LANE and interfere with the buses when dropping off or picking up. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
There are several visitor parking spaces near the main entrance (south end) for those who are visiting campus. Students should not park in visitor parking spaces. Finally, a Campus Map is attached for your reference. We hope everyone had an enjoyable summer, and look forward to the start of the school year. Go Wolverines!
Sincerely, Ryan Patti, Principal
Julie Moeschberger, Assistant Principal
Although not required by federal regulations, the District will allow, in certain circumstances, a child to receive a lunch meal when a packed lunch or money is forgotten. We recognize that situations occur in which this happens occasionally.
The parent or guardian is responsible for ensuring their child has money or a packed lunch daily or has filled out the appropriate application to be eligible to receive free or reduced price meals. If applying for free or reduced price meals, parents must provide lunch money or a packed lunch for their child until notification has been received that their child has been approved to receive free or reduced price meals.
At no time are students permitted to run into a deficit situation for the purchase of a breakfast meal, snack, beverage, or any other a la carte item.
