Dear West Aurora Families and Community,

Football season is here! As West Aurora High School welcomes students, families, and community members to Ormond Stadium, please review these important procedures for home football games. Families bringing a middle school student to the game should be prepared to show their SD129 Middle School ID for the student (Minga or physical copy). Upon admission, middle school students will receive a colored wristband identifying them as an approved middle school spectator.

These procedures are intended to help us maintain a safe, positive, and enjoyable Friday night experience for our students, families, guests, and community.

• Transportation questions please call 630-301-5620
• You can also access school bus route and arrival information on MyRide K-12 .

• 6th Grade-Door #25
• 7th Grade- Door #1
• 8th Grade- Door #57

Students who want breakfast may enter at door #1 at 8:25 with an ID.

We kindly ask all families to avoid parking or stopping in the fire lane during arrival and dismissal times.

Additionally, our activity buses need a clear path to enter, exit, and safely turn into the lane. When the fire lane is blocked, it creates safety concerns and can delay transportation.

We appreciate your partnership in helping us keep all students safe and ensuring a smooth dismissal process. Thank you for your cooperation!

Pedimos amablemente a todas las familias que eviten estacionarse o detenerse en el carril de emergencia durante los horarios de llegada y salida.

Además, nuestros autobuses de actividades necesitan un camino despejado para entrar y salir de manera segura. Los autobuses deben poder girar hacia el carril de forma segura.

Agradecemos su colaboración para ayudarnos a mantener a todos los estudiantes seguros y garantizar un proceso de salida ordenado y eficiente. ¡Gracias por su cooperación!

🐾 Lost Something? We May Have Found It! 👀

Students, please stop by and check out our Lost & Found rack! We have jackets, sweatshirts, lunch bags, water bottles, and more waiting to be reunited with their owners.

🧥🎒💧 See something that belongs to you? Grab it and take it home!

Come take a look before our Lost & Found collection gets any bigger! 🐾
