Dear WSMS Parents and Guardians,
It was evident that the first day back on campus brought a lot of excitement and energy to both staff and students. One thing I realized is we have good procedures in place and as long as we execute them, our staff and students will be well taken care of.
I completely understand the frustration many of you experienced in the car line yesterday.I want to remind you that it was the first day. We noticed a few things that will allow us to get students loaded more efficiently and clear the driveway earlier. We will begin implementing those changes today and hopefully you will see a difference. One thing that will help make a difference is for those whose schedule will allow, please plan to pick up between 4:20-4:30. This will thin the line out considerably. I'm very confident that with the changes we are making internally as well as any families who can arrive after 4:20 PM the car line will be much more efficient. As a reminder, the front parking lot will be closed each day at 3:45 PM to prepare for dismissal. If you need to pick up your child at the end of the day, it will need to be done before 3:45 PM.
At the end of the day, many of us are back together on campus for school. The next goal is to be very disciplined so we can welcome back all of our virtual WSMS Leopards.
Respectfully,
Kevin
