One Community - Firm in Faith:
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
Dear Middle School Parents,
We have found the need to institute a new policy for technology in Middle School.
Students in Middle School (grades 6-8) are not allowed to have wireless/bluetooth earbuds at school. If earbuds/headphones are required, they should be wired with a standard headphone jack to plug in the computer or chromebook.
Teachers will be reminding students of this policy. Your help reminding students to leave these devices at home will be greatly appreciated.
If you have questions, you may contact Mrs. Killen, debra.killen@wca-hsv.org, or Mrs. Hightower, kathy.hightower@wca-hsv.org, thank you.

We hope you can join us for these special chapel services!
