January Reminders

Just a reminder that track 3 is tracking out today and track 4 will return on Wednesday this week. Track change requests are due by Friday - just send in a note with your child’s teacher or give us a call at the office. If you have a rising kindergartner and did not register him or her last week, please do so before Friday. Remember that this is the season for requesting a different school for next year. The magnet application period is open now – you will need your child’s student id number to complete this application online at wcpss.net. If you want your child to attend a different school that is not magnet, the transfer application will be February 20-26. Please give us a call if you have any questions about that process. We look forward to welcoming back our track 4 friends tomorrow.

Assignment Information

January 12, 2015 Student assignment strips have gone home, which identify the school your child is assigned to for the 2015-16 school year. I wanted to take a moment and make sure you know the application dates for any changes you may want to make to your child’s school assignment. All applications are completed online at www.wcpss.net and you will need your child’s id number, which is also their lunch number. -If you are currently at Willow Springs as a transfer student, and you wish to return to your base, then you will need to declare your decision this week by Friday. -If you want to choose a magnet school, the application window is Jan. 26-30 and if you want to request a transfer to any other school, the application window is Feb. 20-26. If you are happy with your assignment, then you do not need to do anything, and your assignment will stay the same. Remember Kindergarten Registration is this Thursday. If you have a child that will be 5 by August 31, please take some time to come out and register them on Jan. 15. You will need their birth certificate and a current proof of residence, as well as your drivers’ license. As always, please call us if you have any questions. Have a great week.
