Arrival/Dismissal

Arrival

Students are allowed into WWMS beginning at 7:10am.  Once students enter they will report to the following locations:

6th Grade - Enter Door 2 into the New Gym

7th/8th Grade - Enter Door 1 and proceed to the Old Gym

Our breakfast program runs from 7:10am - 7:35am. Should a student want breakfast upon arrival they should go directly to the cafeteria where they will receive breakfast and be dismissed to their homerooms. 

Homeroom begins at 7:45am, so be sure to arrive with enough time to go to your Locker and get to your homeroom. 

Students getting dropped off by their parent or guardian can do so at the "Student Drop off Zone" indicated in green on the map. Parking lot entrances are for Staff and Busses only.

Students walking or crossing Van Houten can safely do so using the crosswalk where we will have a crossing guard stationed every morning. 

There are always staff located on the exterior and interior of the building to assist all students as they arrive at WWMS.

Once all students recieve their school issued ID cards, students will be scanned in using their student ID to assist with daily attendance and arrival times. Please ensure your student is wearing their ID as they are entering the building. 

Bikes/Scooters

Students are permitted to ride their bicycles and scooters to school.  There is a bike rack located near the front of the building.  Students should not ride their bicycles through the parking lot as it is an active traffic zone during arrival and dismissal.  Students should obey all New Jersey traffic laws, should wear a helmet when riding their bicycles and scooters and bring their own lock.  See below for our arrival map as well as information about New Jersey's E-Bike and E-Scooter Laws.
