IMPORTANT ELEMENTARY STUDENT INFORMATION
Dear Parents,

Below you will find a few reminders and updated information for elementary students, and our extended care program:

Emergency Contact Information:

Our school office hours are from 7:30-4:00. If you have an emergency between the hours of 4:00-5:30 and need to get in contact with one of our extended care teachers or your student, you may call me on my cell phone at 918-766-4567. During regular school hours, please call the school office at 918-333-8631. Please reserve all non-emergency after hour calls for the following day.

Snacks:

Extended care begins each day with snack time. In your child's lunch box, please send an easy to clean up snack that is labeled "extended care".

Student Pick-Up: Signs will be placed on the front doors of the elementary building indicating the location of the extended care program. If your student is being picked up by someone other than the usual pick up person(s), please contact the office during school hours with that information so we can make our teachers aware of the change. If that person is not on your pick up list, please send an email stating the name and phone number of the person who will be picking your child(ren) up. If we are not made aware of the change of pick up, we will kindly ask the person picking your child(ren) up to wait while we get confirmation from a parent/guardian.

Extended care closes at 5:30 each day. Please make arrangements to have your child picked up no later than 5:30. Students picked up after 5:30 will be charged an additional $1.00/minute past 5:30.

Dress for the Weather:

As the weather is transitioning to spring, please be advised that we will spend some time on the playground each day that the weather permits. Please dress your child accordingly and send a jacket to school.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Fredrick

Student Dress Code

Students are expected to observe the dress code guidelines, and parents are expected to give their students guidance. The administration and teachers of WCS will maintain and enforce the dress code from the time a student arrives on campus until the student is off campus.

• Shorts must be no higher than 4” above the knee when standing. In elementary school, shorts may only be worn before Fall Break and after Spring Break. Secondary students may not wear athletic shorts outside of PE or athletics practice.

Physical Education/Athletics Dress Code

Dress code will be established by the P.E. instructor for each activity but will conform to our school dress code. Students are required to wear clean, non-marking athletic shoes while on the gym floor.

Consequences for Dress Code Violations

If a student’s attire violates the dress code, the parents will be required to bring appropriate clothing items. The student will sit in the office until appropriate clothing can be obtained. After the first violation, the consequences of violating the dress code will be after school detention and/or work related tasks. On the third dress code violation a student will be given a one day out of school suspension.

Dress Down Thursdays

1) Wear sweat /athletic pants
2) Wear athletic shorts
**Please be advised that length requirements of 4 in. above the knee still apply for athletic shorts.
3) Wear a hat to school.
