Student Drop-off & Pick-up (additional notes)

  • Have students ready to exit car when pulled in front of doors for drop-off.
  • Students should be on the passenger side of the car. (It is a two lane and cars pass drop-off cars which is dangerous for you & your child)
  • West Taylor's doors open at 7:30 AM if you are dropping your children off.
  • Parent Pick-Up will begin at 2:30. The line will now be longer with WTES students being in full attendance.
  • Make sure the PPU yellow tags are visible for the staff to enter.
  • Students should enter your vehicle through the passenger side. (Again, this is for their safety).
  • Pull forward or pull in front parking lot to finish buckling your child in their seat.

No students will be dismissed from the office between 2:00 & 2:30.

Welcome to WV Kids Connect

Governor Jim Justice recently announced the West Virginia Kids Connect Initiative. WV Kids Connect is designed to support the learning needs of children who do not have access to the Internet at their home. By installing the necessary equipment, all public schools, higher education institutions, county libraries and state parks will be turned into wifi hotspots. From the comfort and security of your vehicle, a student will be able to access the Internet to complete their school assignments.

Operating hours: 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. every day (including weekends and holidays). Located in parking lot closest to the road at WTES.
