Dunk Your Superintendent! If you don’t like the idea of a new cell phone policy or think school starts too early in August, now is your chance to take out your start of school frustrations, and dunk Dr. Perrigan! He’ll be in the dunk tank at Dairy Queen in Abingdon (Exit 19 location) on Saturday, with the fun beginning at 4:00 p.m. Proceeds raised from the event go towards St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. WCPS students and staff have loved participating in fundraisers for St. Jude and are thrilled to be able to give back.

Car Rider Reminders: *Drive around the loop to drop your child off. For your child's safety, avoid letting them out in the parking lot unattended or walking them up to the building. *Remain in your vehicle when dropping your child off. Staff are on duty to help as needed. *Wait patiently in line without passing other vehicles. Our children are precious and their safety is everyone's responsibility.

As our students head back to school, please remember to use caution! Observe the speed limit in all school zones, watch for school buses and pedestrians and plan additional time to reach your destination. We appreciate your help to keep our students, teachers, staff and parents safe as we begin a new school year.
