For your safety and the safety of the community, please do not use Oakton Street or Menard Street, across from the Niles West campus, as drop-off or pick-up areas. We are experiencing increased traffic congestion, illegal turns, and a significant risk of accidents on these streets.

As a reminder, Niles West has designated bus and car entrances, parking for staff and students, walkways for pedestrians, and procedures for pick-up and drop-off. Please review the following details.

Oakton St. Access

• Parents/guardians and other visitors will access the campus via Oakton Street only (east Oakton at Menard or west Oakton near the football field). Please note that the police detail at this entrance will end on November 1, 2025.
• Follow the roundabout at either Oakton entrance to drop off students. No right turn will be allowed out of the roundabout.
  • Student entry and exit from East Oakton - Doors 6 and 7
  • Student entry and exit from West Oakton - Door 24

Gross Point Rd. Access

• Only buses and staff will access the campus via Gross Point Rd.
