🦆 Welcome Back, WLC Students!
We’re excited to kick off the 2026–2027 school year on Monday, August 10!
A few important reminders as we head back to The Pond:
* Student badges will be issued; replacement badges are $5
* Students will receive their schedules
* Cell phones: If we see it, we will take it. A parent/guardian must pick it up from the front office.
* Follow all dress code expectations
* No backpacks — all supplies are provided
* First period begins at 7:40 AM. Students arriving after 7:40 are considered late and must be signed in by a parent/guardian.
* Remember to SOAR: Safe, On Task, Assigned Area, Respectful!
We’re looking forward to an amazing first week! 🦆

✅ Log into FOCUS Parent Portal.
✅ Complete ALL required Back-to-School Forms. (They'll pop up automatically—and some families may have more than two!)
✅ Then come back later to view your student's teacher assignment or course schedule.
