Students arriving after 8:05 a.m. will be marked tardy as outlined in our Attendance Policy. All students will be dismissed at 3:00 p.m. The main office will need to be notified in advance by a parent/guardian should there be a need to change the regular arrival/dismissal routine of a student (i.e.: change in bus route, parent pick up instead of bus ride, early release, etc.). Documentation will be required for any absence, late arrival and/or early departure. Visitors During The School Day In order to be certain that all of our students are safe, we need to be sure parents, family members and other visitors are aware of and adhere to the sign in and out procedures. Any person visiting the school during school hours (7:40 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.) for any reason must: Report directly to the main office. Sign the Visitor Sign In/Out Sheet. Obtain and affix a “Visitor Tag” if you will be entering the building beyond the lobby. Obtain permission to enter the building beyond the lobby. Wait in the lobby unless directed otherwise. Return Visitor Tag and sign out of the building when exiting. School Bus Safety Our students are expected to follow the three bus safety rules when riding our WCS buses: Sit, Buckle, Stay in Your Seat. Please take a moment to review the School Bus Safety expectations with your child. It is our intent to see that every school bus ride is a safe school bus ride. For more information on School Bus Safety, please visit the National Safety Council's website. Attention Alumni: Previous yearbook editions wanted for our WCS Collection.
