Military Connected Families: To ensure that the unique needs of military-connected students are met, state law requires that schools collect information on military-connected students. The goal is to help accommodate these students by providing them with support and consistency when their parents are deployed, transitioning between schools, and at other pivotal times during their academic careers.  

           If you are a Military Connected Family, please:

·                 Download the linked fillable form

·                 Complete 1 form for each child

·                 Return the form to Ms. Sepulveda, esepulveda@wcpss.net

A hard copy can also be returned to the school. The deadline to submit this form is this Friday.
