Hi WCMS Parents!! Because we know that it's getting about time to start shopping for school clothes, we wanted to send out information about our DRESS CODE so that you will all be prepared for when we return. This information can be found in the Student Handbook and Student Agenda that will be handed out at the beginning of school. Students are expected to dress and groom themselves in such a way as to reflect high standards of neatness, cleanliness and good taste. All students should be modestly dressed and in a manner that does not disrupt the operation of the school anywhere in the building or in the classroom. Administrators will make a determination of appropriate dress in the case of any uncertainty or dispute. (The athletic department will determine the appropriate dress for students involved directly in a physical education class.) - cont...
