Warsaw Community High School is undergoing a new construction project to benefit its students and community.
With this project comes some necessary changes to the WCHS parking lot use and student drop-off and pick-up procedures, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
Below are some explanations of the procedures WCS is requesting parents and students follow to assist with the safety and convenience of everyone visiting the high school.
The drop-off/pick-up area by the Warsaw Area Career Center (WACC) entrance is no longer available to anyone. A lot is now co-op student parking only. These students will have a specific parking tag that is assigned by the WACC office by permission of Director Ronna Kawsky.
B lot is now staff parking only with a purple pass. Parent drop-off/pick-up when approaching from Logan and Union streets will occur in the drives of this lot as well.
C lot will be used for staff parking only. Parent drop-off/pick-up approach from Ind. 15/Fisher Avenue will occur in the drives of this lot.
D lot will be used for student and event parking. Due to high traffic, this is not a designated pick-up/drop-off area anymore.
Parents: There are two designated areas for parents to drop-off/pick-up their students. WCHS will need for parents to choose from one of two approaches to the school to limit traffic congestion. If a person is approaching from either Logan or Union streets (by Edgewood Middle School), follow the path toward the building. It is necessary to follow this path to keep the flow of traffic constant and avoid congestion as much as possible. The students will enter/exit the building through door 1 when dropped off or picked up here.
When approaching from Ind. 15, turn left (no right turn) toward the southern part of the building. Follow the red path toward C lot. The students will enter/exit the building through doors 47-50 of the Performing Arts Center when dropped off or picked up here.
The horseshoe parking area on the southern part of the building is restricted to buses only during school arrival and departure times. The parking area behind the Tiger Den/weight room is restricted to staff parking and buses only. This is not a pick-up/drop-off area for students.
Students: D lot is for student parking with a WCHS parking tag. Students parking in D lot can enter the building through doors 44 and 45. Due to the amount of traffic involved in this lot, this lot is not a designated pick-up/drop-off area anymore.
