Please Read Announcements:
Lunch Visits: Starting November 3rd, parents will be welcome to join their students for lunch. This is meant to be a special treat, not a regular routine, as lunchtime is an important opportunity for students to build friendships and practice social skills. We’ll have a few reserved tables in the cafeteria as well as outdoor seating available. Please make sure that you bring your ID as you will need to sign in as a visitor.
WCPSS device policy; All student personal devices (e.g., cellphones, smartwatches, headphones) to be put away during the school day. This policy is designed to support student focus, well-being, and a safe, engaging learning environment.
Please send any excused absence notes to attendance314@wcpss.net if your child is tardy or absent. Please make sure to copy your child's teacher.
