Head of School - Highlights
Dear WAMCS Family,
I do not know about you, but having another weekend that felt more summer-like was definitely needed for my soul! Hopefully you had the opportunity to soak in this time as we get ready to prepare for all things fall.
We are looking for parents/grandparents who would be interested in volunteering for 1-hour per week to help us with snack preparation. If you are willing and able, click on the link below!
Warmly,
Mrs. Channel
Attendance
Please note a student may not be excused by a parent for more than ten (10) days per school year per state statute. The student must complete any work missed during the absence. Example of reasons for being absent that can be counted under these 10 parent approved days include, but are not limited to, the following:
- professional and other necessary appointments (e.g., medical, dental, and legal) that cannot be scheduled outside of the school day
- illness without a medical excuse from a physician
- attend a funeral
- vacation
Reminders for SY 2021-2022!
School Hours
8:15am - 3:15pm
*Beginning at 8:00am, children may be dropped off to come into the classroom for breakfast. We highly encourage all students to take advantage of this meal!*
Breakfast/Lunch
We are very fortunate to be able to offer FREE breakfast and lunch to all of our students for the 2021-2022 school year! Our hope is that this is a benefit to you and your family!
Since we will be eating both meals in the classrooms, we would like to remind you that if your child would prefer to bring breakfast or lunch from home, NO peanut/tree nut products (peanut butter, Nutella, nutty granola bars, almond milk, etc) are permitted.
A monthly lunch menu with hot and cold items will be provided to assist you in planning for each week. *Please note that the lunch options are subject to change without notice based on food availability.*
We will have microwaves available if your child brings in a cold lunch that needs to be heated.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and support of keeping our students safe!
