With that being said, there is a possibility that the internet may be out tomorrow at all WCS locations if the line is not repaired in time. Details will be shared as soon as we get them.

1. 7th and 8th grade schedules may be picked up in the Middle School Office this Tuesday, Aug. 09. The schedule currently only shows the 1st nine weeks and does not have the locker information yet, as the state adopted a new platform that is having some difficulties.
2. There are 10 parking spaces still available, but our secretaries will be out on Monday for required training, so if you would still like one you will need to come on Tuesday to the middle school office. Parking is NOT allowed this year at the old elementary school.
3. 6th grade orientation is this Thursday, Aug. 11. The orientation will last from 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Students can be dropped off at the cafeteria between 3:30 - 4:00 in the cafeteria.
