Postural Screenings with the School Nurses

Please read this important message from our school nurses regarding the upcoming postural screenings for 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys.
 

An Important Message about Bus Passes:

In order for a student to ride a different bus with another student home, the following information MUST be presented to the WJ Office Staff NO LATER THAN 1:00pm:

A note from the parent or guardian of the student who is going to be riding on a different bus that NEEDS to state:
  • the date
  • the bus # 
  • the address that the student will be going to
  • parent/guardian signature
In the event that an emergency bus pass must be issued, both students need to come to the main office and call their parents or guardians to ask for permission. An office staff member is required to speak to both of the students' parents or guardians to verify consent. All notes and/or phone communication must be completed in the office NO LATER than 1:00pm on the day the student needs the bus pass. If it is not received by 1:00pm, then the student must take their normal transportation home.
