Message from the Principal
Hello WGMS families!
Here are some news, notes, and happenings from WGMS. We hope everyone has a great weekend ahead!
Stay well,
Michael McGrath
Early Pick-Up
If your child is leaving school early, please send in a note, and have them bring it to the Health Office first thing in the morning. A parent/guardian/authorized pick-up person has to pick up the student at the Main Office window. A driver's license will be requested to verify identification, every time. Early dismissal should be before 2:00 p.m. as dismissal buses will begin to occupy the front circle then.
If your child goes to Bascol or Champions after school program, and they are not going to attend the program for any reason (early dismissal, sent home sick, musical rehearsal, etc), please notify the after school program.
