Dear WCA Families ~
You have seen, and will continue to see, a police presence over the next week and into January. Currently, WCA is using an off-duty police officer while the process of hiring a consistent full-time Student Resource Officer is completed.
It is our intent to take all precautions necessary to protect our learning environment and keep all students safe.
Officers have suggested that WCA tighten procedures for all people who come and go during the school day: visitors, church members, and parents. Parents will continue to sign in and out, and get a name tag when staying in the building, per our usual. In addition, all parents who come to WCA must either have an appointment, be picking up their child from the office, or be dropping something off at the front office for their child. WCA Staff will deliver all items dropped off for students.
When volunteers are planned, organizers (teacher, staff, or PTF) must provide a list to the front desk with the volunteers' names, their purpose, and times needed.
Please note that items forgotten by students must be picked up by 3:00 unless the student has permission from an administrator or staff member to retrieve the item, and a staff member will escort them in the building to get needed items.
Thank you for supporting this police presence initiative. It is a privilege to serve you.
Blessings,
Adell Keen
