REPEAT - Morning Arrival: Please do not drop students off curbside on the Person Street sidewalk or the Martin Street sidewalk during morning arrival. Doing so impedes the flow of carpool and bus traffic, and it compromises the safety of students using the crosswalk at the Person St./Davie St. intersection. 

Thanks from Ms. Price: We had an anonymous person donate several table top games for our Dungeons and Dragons Club. If this was you, please reach out to Ms. Price (kprice2@wcpss.net), as she’d like to directly thank you!
