Important Notice for Picking
up Students
Parents MUST come in to pick-up
their student, with IDs, as well as the
waivers needed for those nonbiological parents/guardians picking
up.
We know this is an inconvenience
but we receive many instances
where parents call in with 2 minute
warning requesting their students be
waiting outside to be picked up.
With student safety at the forefront
of every decision we make, our
office staff must confirm identities.
This is a WCSD policy implemented
1/1/2016. We appreciate parental
cooperation, support & patience so
we can do our job and keep our
students safe!
