WCPSS Transportation is making improvements Jan. 31 to the online communication system that families use to request service.The most important change for parents requires they provide a valid student ID when using the Transportation web page to submit questions about their students’ bus service. The valid student ID and matching student name must be provided to submit the request.Schools provide families the students ID, which can be found online in Home Base, on report cards or from teachers or data managers.
Please remember that yearbook orders and Boosterthon pledges are due tomorrow.
Parents, please also be aware that 2nd quarter report cards will be coming home this Friday, Feb. 3rd. Please make sure that you take this opportunity to review your child's progress with them. Please contact your child's teacher/counselor if you would like to schedule a conference.
