Dear Parents:
MORNING ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
Children must attend school daily to ensure they learn the academic and social concepts and skills they will need in school and beyond. Students are to enter the building at 7:45 a.m. and instruction begins promptly at 8:20 a.m If you would like a conference with your child’s teacher please schedule for Friday mornings from 7:30-7:50 a.m. or after school.
Phone calls cannot be placed to classrooms during the school day. Please understand this disrupts classroom instruction. Leave a message with the secretary and your child’s teacher will call you back during his/her planning time or after school.
. No students are to arrive before 7:45 a.m. or stay after 3:00 p.m. We do not have child care/supervision available in the office or classrooms. Please do not ask your child’s teacher to let them stay after school in their care as they have meetings and other parent conferences after school. Car students are to be picked up promptly by 3:00 p.m. We have two buses that drop off for after school supervision at area day cares, EduCare and Sweet as Home. The tardy bell rings at 8:20 a.m. Any student arriving after the tardy bell must be signed in at the office BY A PARENT! STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SIGN THEMSELVES IN OR OUT OF SCHOOL! For school safety, parents are to empty the parking lot, not congregate around the cars, after dropping off students.
School will be dismissed at 3:00 p.m. Parents are to stay in cars until school dismisses for the safety of our students. Students in grades K-3 will be picked up in front of the school; students in grades 4-8 can only be picked up a the back of the school. Please make arrangements beforehand if you are not going to be able to pick up your child. We understand emergencies will arise, but for the safety of your child no changes for student pick up will be made after 1:30 p.m. daily, unless approved by the administration!
Due to safety concerns for our students, any child is left unattended before 7:45a.m. or after 3:20 p.m. repeatedly may be referred to the social worker.
We are working together to ensure a friendly and safe learning environment for all WTS children. Please do not go to your child’s classroom without first signing in at the office. Feel welcome to participate in school and classroom activities and to communicate regularly with administration and teaching staff to support your family’s needs. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Wendell Duncan, Principal
