Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders
Be reminded to follow all parking and driving rules and regulations during drop off and pick up. This includes not parking in red zones, traffic lanes, and other prohibited areas. In addition to Lakeview Canyon Rd., you can also use the WHS Student Parking Lot off of Via Merida to drop off and pick up.
In addition, please be courteous to our neighboring businesses and do not utilize their parking lots as pick-up, drop-off, or parking locations for Westlake High School.
Anonymous Safety Reporting
Although we always encourage students and families to reach out to WHS Administration with any safety related concerns directly, we understand there are times that students and families may want to report information in an anonymous manner. To help support this option, Westlake High School has established a form through our school website to report such items. Please visit www.conejousd.org/whs and click on the 'Report a Safety Concern' item under quick links. .
Parking Reminders
We have noticed and been informed that a number of cars have been parking on both sides of Lakeview Canyon Rd in the 'No Parking' and the 'No Parking Between 7:00am and 8:30am' areas. Be reminded to follow these parking laws as Thousand Oaks Police Department has been notified and will be issuing citations for violations.
In addition, only WHS Teachers & Staff with appropriate permits are authorized to park on Lakeview Canyon Rd in the 'Faculty & Staff Parking Only' areas.
