If you have already registered, please go back into SMART TAG and update your child(ren)'s

dismissal default to accurately reflect how you would like your child to go home regularly.

If you need to make a change to the way your child goes home for a specific day, please log in to SMART TAG and submit a temporary change. The cut off time to make changes is 2:00 pm.

All parents, it is very important for your default to be correct as we will be sending students home based on the information in SMART TAG.

Dear Tiger Families and Staff

The LTISD Return to School Protocols for COVID 19 have been updated on the district site. I want to encourage you to read the entire document. However, over the next several days you will receive a message (like this one) from me highlighting a specific section explaining how it will pertain to our campus. Today's topic is Specials and Recess.

Future topics include:

I hope you find these messages helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,

Melanie Beninga, Principal of WCHE
