🛠️ AllTimely & PACK Time – What Parents Need to Know

AllTimely is the online platform students use to schedule PACK Time activities. Here’s how it works and how you can support your student:

• ✅ Students must sign up for at least one academic or enrichment activity per PACK Time day unless they have off-campus privileges.

• 🧠 Study Hall and Remediation take priority. If your student is assigned an academic support session, they cannot choose lunch or other elective sessions that day.

• 🕒 Students schedule for the entire week every Monday at 7:05 AM.

• 📋 Encourage your student to select sessions that align with their academic needs. Using PACK Time wisely supports our school-wide goal of 80% mastery in all courses.

🚨 Skipping PACK Time is treated like skipping class and will result in disciplinary action.

SHELTER IN PLACE EVENT

Families,

The safety of our students and staff is the number one priority for WCPSS.

 

Due to a brief tornado warning, our schools “Sheltered-in-Place” from 12:12 - 12:42 p.m. today.

 

Shelter-in-Place is similar to a tornado drill. Students and staff were relocated to spaces that are deemed safe areas of their school buildings. They were allowed to have organized and supervised restroom breaks, medical attention, food and water if necessary. During a Shelter-in-Place, no one is allowed in or out of the building.

 

Thank you for your continued support of our school.

Debido a una breve advertencia de tornado, nuestras escuelas tomarán refugio en su propio sitio (“sheltering in place”) de 12:12 p.m. a 12:42 p.m. hoy.

“Tomar refugio en su propio sitio” es similar a un simulacro de tornado. Los estudiantes y el personal fueron ubicados en espacios que se consideren áreas seguras de sus edificios escolares. Se les permitió tener pausas organizadas y supervisadas para ir al baño, recibir atención médica, obtener comida y agua si es necesario. Durante un refugio en su propio sitio nadie puede entrar o salir del edificio.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo de nuestras escuela.
