Parents, if you would like to purchase pictures of your child please listen to the following directions. Please send the money for the pictures that you want to purchase with your student to turn into their teacher. The money MUST be sent back in the PICTURE ENVELOPE. Also make sure that you have put your child’s name on the picture envelope in order to ensure that the photographers know who the pictures are for.

Good evening West Salisbury families, this is your child’s principal Mr. Binns. We hope that each of you were able to stay dry and safe during this wet and rainy weekend. We have a few announcements for you this week. Parents that have children that ride the bus, please make sure that you are at the bus stop 10 minutes before the allotted time for the bus to arrive. We have had a large number of students that have had to be brought back to school because there was not a parent or adult to pick the child up from the bus stop. It is pivotal that you are at the bus stop so administration does not have remain at school because a parent is not at the bus stop. Parents, this next message is concerning any child that has medication. Nurse Schoofield wants all parents to know that medication should NOT be sent to school with a student. The medication must be brought to school by a parent accompanied with a doctor’s order to be given to Nurse Schoofield. This message is for parents that are continually bringing lunches to school. Parents, we understand that you would like to come to school and bring your child their lunch everyday, but this can be a constant disruption to the instructional day. We are politely asking that you refrain from bring the lunch to school everyday. The front office personnel still have responsibilities and if you the parent are brining your child’s lunch everyday, the office staff have to stop their responsibilities, call down to the class which is disrupting instruction time in the class and the student has to come to the office to get the lunch and again this disrupts the front office time while they try to work. This has been happening multiple times a day and when you add it up it takes time away from them to do their job. We truly understand that there will be times that an emergency or an unexpected circumstance may take place but please allow your child to bring their lunch with them in their bag or in a lunch box. Your cooperation and willingness to abide by our request will be greatly appreciated and helpful to our office staff. Parents, this next announcement is concerning our dress code. Unfortunately, we have had students that have come to school wearing inappropriate clothing. We have seen sleeveless shirts, spaghetti straps and crop tops with students’ bells and shoulders out. Please remember although we are no longer a CAP school, there still is a dress code. Please go to the WCPS website and click on parent/student at the top and look for Dress Code under the letter D. Crop tops, spaghetti straps, open backs and or sleeveless tops are not allowed. Please check the dress code and dress your child appropriately, thank you so much. If your child is dressed in appropriately we will contact you the parent to bring a change of clothes if not we will have to supply your child with a change of clothes. We want your child to have the freedom of dressing in their clothes of choice but it must comply with the dress code. Finally, this week is Fun Friday and it is superhero Fun Friday. Please dress your child in a superhero outfit, remember no masks are allowed to be worn in the building but they can wear the outfit. That is it for now, and we look forward to seeing our tiger cubs tomorrow bright and early. We are the Tiger Nation, this means more, Tigers let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!
