🏈Important Information for WAHS Home Football Games

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.

School pictures are ready!

Dear parents,

Your child’s school pictures are now available! To view them online, please log in to your account at mylifetouch.com. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one using your email address. You’ll need your student’s ID number or their portrait id and access code to locate their photos.

Thank you! —The Lifetouch Team

Students who want breakfast may enter at door #1 by 8:30 with an ID.

🚨 Important Safety Reminder: Fire Lane Access

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!

🚨 Recordatorio Importante de Seguridad: Acceso al Carril de Emergencia

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!
