Attention parents of K-6 students. If you are dropping off your car riding student, please use the big gym parking lot (the one you park in for basketball games) to drop off. No car riding students should be dropped off in the middle parking lot. The middle parking lot is for school buses and staff only. Thank you for keeping our students and staff safe.

K-6 Parents: As we start another school year, we want to take a moment to remind everyone that  Car Riders takes a little extra time those first few days. The start of the year is always busier as new families learn the procedures and everyone gets back in the groove. Here are some guidelines to help Car Riders run smoothly.  - Please follow the directions of our duty personnel and be aware of students entering or exiting the vehicles.    - Stay in line and wait for a staff member to signal you forward before moving your vehicle, there may be a child that you cannot see. - In the afternoon make sure that you car tag is visible and not blocked by anything hanging from the mirror. Some darker tints can interfere with the signal and you may need to roll down your window as you pull into the parking lot.  - When entering the lot the please complete the rows before beginning a new. You must go into the next available spot and not pass other cars.  After the first few weeks car rider speeds up considerably. Please be patient and remember the safety of your children is our top priority.

Arkansas Bell-to-Bell, No Cell Act Starting with the 25/26 school year, the Arkansas Bell-to-Bell, No Cell Act will be enforced in all public schools, including White County Central Schools. This new law prohibits students from using personal electronic devices during the entire school day - from first bell to the last. Important Information No device use during school hours: Students may not use cellphones, smartwatches, tablets, or similar devices upon entry of the building until the final bell of the day. District Policy: WCC has updated its electronic device policy to comply with this law. Our updated policy will be published in the Student Handbook on our website. Why this change? The goal of the Bell-to-Bell, No Cell Act is to reduce distractions and create a better learning environment for all students. Our policy updates will comply with the new law. How can you help? Please talk to your child about this upcoming change so they are prepared for the new expectations. If you have questions or need more information please contact your child’s school office. Thank you for your support.

The High School Library will be open on Monday (7/14) from 9:00 - 1:00

WCC Middle School and High School will provide all essential school supplies for students in grades 5–12.
The only items parents are asked to purchase are backpacks and 3-ring binders, and only for classes where it is specifically required.
