Recent Updates:
A. Instructions for Student Drop Off & Pick Up
- Parents who drop off and pick up students before and after school have two ways to access our campus. Cars may enter the campus from Darrow Road onto Walkertown School Road to the left of the old WMS. Go to the stop sign in front of the football stadium and turn left. Follow the road around to the circle and enter the front parking lot via the traffic circle. Traffic should circle the parking lot and drop off or pick up students at the front of the building.
Cars also may enter campus from Sullivantown Road. Use the second entrance to the school (not the bus entrance, which is the first one) when coming from Main Street to Sullivantown Road. Turn right into the parking lot and follow the outside lane of traffic around to the front of the building to drop off or pick up students. Exit via the traffic circle.
Please stay in the lane that leads you to the far end of the parking lot from the traffic circle or front entrance and then merge at the far end of the parking lot into one lane for drop off and pick up. We only use one lane for drop off and pick up in front of the school.

C. Cell Phone/Electronic Device Policy for Students
- Per the district policy, cell phones and other electronic devices are not to be displayed or used during the school day, unless they are used within classroom instruction. If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call the Main Office.
- Students can have their phones on their person or in their backpacks. The focus is for it to not be seen or heard.
- Cell phones and any other electronic devices belonging to individual students should not be used or displayed in instructional settings during the instructional day (7:00-2:00).
- Cell phones may not be used in the classroom unless directed by the teacher for instructional use. Violations will follow the WS/FCS Student Code of Character, Conduct, and Support (Policy 5131: Student Behavior).
- Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are solely responsible for any loss or damage to their cell phone any other similar electronic equipment in school while it is in their care, custody or control. WS/FCS accepts no responsibility for theft, loss or damage to a student’s personal electronic equipment.
