WCPSS TRANSPORTATION NEWS
WCPSS Transportation is making improvements Jan. 31 to the online communication system that families use to request service.
The most important change for parents requires they provide a valid student ID when using the Transportation web page to submit questions about their students’ bus service. The valid student ID and matching student name must be provided to submit the request.
Schools provide families the students ID, which can be found online in Home Base, on report cards or from teachers or data managers.
SAVE THE DATE
Friday, February 10th from 6:00 to 8:30pm.
This is a semi-formal affair. Tickets will be $10.00 in advance and $15.00 at the door. Tickets will be sold during lunch Monday, February 6 through Thursday, February 9. Refreshments will be served. Guest forms can be downloaded from our webpage.

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
In the more than 35 year history of Jump Rope for Heart, the American Heart Association has been able to impact many lives thanks to the support of teachers and students. Over the years, we have funded scientists who went on to win Nobel Prizes for their work! The American Heart Association has been able to work with health care providers to reduce the number of people dying from heart disease and stroke by 25% and those achievements are all because of lifesaving donations our students have raised!
Please continue to support Jump Rope for Heart. Click on the link below to donate.
Thank you!
