Career Day Prizes!!!
Career Day is coming up soon! Our high schoolers are excited for all the future opportunities they learn about at this event (and all the fun, special things they get to participate in as well!) We are now accepting donations for our Career Day prizes! WCS Parents, please bring $20 gift cards to the front office by this Friday, 11/6 so we can raffle them off to students on Career Day. Gift cards can be purchased from any place students love (think Dutch, Red Chickz, In-N-Out, Starbucks, Chipotle, etc.). Each $20 gift card is worth 2 parent hours! If you are interested in donating one large "grand prize" for the student raffle (ie: an iPad, AirPods, Ray-Ban/Oakley Meta Glasses, Polaroid w/ film bundle, etc.) please email mcampbell@woodlandchristian.org ASAP to make arrangements.
Career Day Details
Career Day Details for Friday, November 13: We have a full day of fun activities planned to inspire high school students for all the amazing opportunities that exist for their futures! Freshmen and Sophomores: Bring your charged laptops to participate in career preparedness activities. Juniors: Dress professionally for your mock job interviews. All students are encouraged to bring money to buy a food truck lunch from Bubble Hive, Wing Man or La Potra Taco Truck (no school hot lunch available for HS that day). Remember, Career Day is a full-day event, beginning at 7:50am and ending at 2:35pm. All students who remain on campus for the whole event (including lunch) are entered to win prizes! If you are not able to join us at school on November 13th, please have your parent email Ms. Campbell (mcampbell@woodlandchristian.org) so she can send you the mandatory make-up assignment for that day. (Parents: Prize donations are needed this week as well - See details in the top section above.)
Students will be allowed 1 late day before an assignment will be entered as a zero. The policy states, “Meeting deadlines is a skill that will help students be successful in school and beyond. We encourage students to turn in work by the assigned due date to receive full credit. Work turned in up to one class period after the due date will receive between 10-20% deduction (based on teacher discretion). After one class period, students will not receive credit for the assignment.”
You may consider using a planner to will help with organization, planning, and accountability.
Check out our College & Career Resources page! Don't miss important information to help your student explore the many opportunities God has in store for their future!
The complete high school dress code is included in the parent/student handbook but we wanted to remind everyone of a few basic points:
All clothing should be modest, neat and clean.
Garments must be long enough to fully cover the torso when standing or sitting.
This includes being long enough that the midriff is not visible when the arms are stretched straight above the head.
Pants must fit appropriately with no baggy or saggy styles accepted. Students may wear jeans, khakis, shorts that are no shorter than 4 inches above the bend at the back of the knee (rips in jeans must also not go above this line).
Athletic or loungewear is also not permitted in this scholarly environment.
Clothing and appearance must support the policies, principles, and philosophies of WCHS. Fashion or art designs in any form supporting death, occult, negative pop culture, sexually suggestive content, alcohol, tobacco, drugs or lifestyles inconsistent with the position statements of WCHS are not acceptable.
Students will not be permitted to start class out of dress code. Students will need to comply with the dress code before starting school each day.
Carpool Map
1. When using the south parking lot entrance, please use the correct lanes for entrance and exiting. We've had numerous accounts where drivers have used the exit lane to enter the campus and almost crashed into vehicles that were exiting. This has oftentimes been the result of students rushing onto the campus.
2. Drivers entering/exiting the south parking lot entrance do not have the "right-of-way." Eastbound vehicles on Sports Park Drive, turning left onto Matmor Road have the "right-of-way" to continue down Matmor Road without impedance of traffic entering/exiting our driveway. Southbound vehicles on Matmor Road, turning right onto Sports Park Drive have the "right-of-way". Southbound vehicles on Matmor Road looking to turn left into our driveway must yield to traffic turning from Sports Park Drive onto Matmor Road. Drivers entering to or exiting from our driveway need to yield to both the traffic on the roads and pedestrians.
3. Be courteous to our nearby residents when driving. We have had issues with residents near our campus being unable to enter onto Matmor Road from their street. This is most noticeable near the round-about near Tyler Court. Please provide a gap at these intersections for residents to be able to access Matmor Road. Please keep your speed down in our neighborhood as well. We appreciate our community and want to do all we can to keep a safe atmosphere for the nearby residents.
