BYOD
Please check your child’s Friday folder for the BYOD letter and contract that was sent home. We were a Bring Your Own Device pilot school last year and are moving to BYOD whole school this fall. Please check out our BYOD site: https://sites.google.com/a/wcpss.net/banks-road-byod/important-dates
Carpool and Parking
As a reminder, drop-off in the morning by households must fall-in line with the school rules and district expectations. Parents may park and walk their students into the building or may drop off in carpool. Parents cannot park and send their students into the building or to the carpool line from the parking lot. Parents are strongly encouraged to drive through carpool and not park and escort into the building unless school business needs to be attended to. Thank you for supporting a safe and orderly morning arrival time.
If you have any questions please call the Front Desk at 919-890-7333.
Our trailblazers, both big and small, are blazing magnificent trails! Join us in celebrating their daily and weekly accomplishments. Have a wonderful weekend!
