Senior Yearbook Pages: Create a space in the yearbook just for your student — this is a rare opportunity to celebrate their passions, inspiring achievements and unique perspective in a BIG way. They’ll flip through the yearbook for years to come just to revisit your heartfelt ad. Directions are included at the bottom of the following link:

Please submit them on this Google Form. Questions? Contact Ms. Martin (cmartin@wcpss.net). 

 

School-Wide Behavior Expectations: We covered school-wide expectations in all classes during the first few weeks of school. At WECIB, we strive to foster a positive school culture that ensures a safe and nurturing environment for learning. Please review and reinforce the slide deck to help us achieve these goals. Thank you.  

 

Forms: These are most commonly requested forms at the beginning of the year. Students must turn in a new form each year. 

• Off Campus Lunch Form (11th and 12th grade only)

• Student Parking Form

• Walk Off Campus at Dismissal Form

• Permission to Self Check-Out for Morrisville Shuttle (if shuttle comes before 2:05)

 

Student Handbook: Here is our student handbook. Much of what students and parents need throughout the year is referenced in the handbook. 

 

New and Experienced Carpool Users (Including families that use bus transportation): With bus transportation being somewhat unreliable, there will likely be new drivers in the carpool loop that are unfamiliar with our process. Given this, we ask all families to familiarize themselves with our processes for carpool:

• Videos that explain our process 

  • Transportation Overview

  • Morning Carpool

  • Afternoon Carpool

• Be sure you are always entering and exiting campus at the light at the intersection of Watkins Road and Chapel Hill Road.

• As you line up in the queue prior to dismissal, cars should line up in both lanes and zipper merge (like you would in a double-laned fast-food drive through line).

• We ask that everyone be careful of their speed once on campus and be watchful of pedestrians and other vehicles.

• Be patient with each other. It may be someone's first time picking up in carpool and they are unsure of the process.

• Drop off and pick up is always at the main entrance to the Lilly Building. Do not drop off students at any other location on campus, including the parking lot unless parents are coming into the building. 

• Watch for pedestrians that may be crossing the street in places other than crosswalks.

• Watch your speed. 

• Pull all the forward and close the gap between cars. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding of our protocols as we work to keep things safe and efficient. 

 

Afternoon Carpool Pickup: Unless students are in a supervised after school activity (e.g., 5th Period), students should be picked up by 2:15. Students are not allowed to hang out on campus unless under the direct supervision of a teacher for an after-school activity. 

• Carpool students needing pick-up after 2:15: Students are allowed to walk off campus to the adjacent shopping center (with coffee shops) with parental permission. Use this form to give permission. Please note that the form should be signed by both student and one parent in the presence of an office staff member. Come to the front office for assistance. If this is not possible, the form should be notarized. 

• Public Transportation: Some students utilize public transportation (e.g., Morrisville Shuttle), which picks up on campus. Students must wait for the shuttle at the designated bus stop. Pick up times vary in the afternoon and on occasion, it picks up a few minutes before our dismissal. If you would like to authorize your student to take advantage of a pick-up before the end of the school day,  please complete this form and we will keep it on file. The student just needs to check out in the office before leaving. Please note that the form should be signed by both student and one parent in the presence of an office staff member. Come to the front office for assistance. If this is not possible, the form should be notarized. 

 

Wake Tech Warn: Wake Tech WARN is the official emergency alert system of Wake Technical Community College and is used to distribute critical emergency information. In the event of an emergency or inclement weather situation, Wake Tech WARN allows the college to notify students, staff, and registered community members. Parents should go to this link to register for alerts.  If you have registered for this previously, you do not need to register again.
