Homework generally falls into two categories: 1. Practice of skills introduced during a class period 2. Long-range assignments, such as projects or reports Students should expect homework on a regular basis and should complete it neatly and on time. Students will have one school day for every school day absent to turn in work and be accepted for full credit. Late work will receive reduced credit based on the grade level policy. Parents or guardians of a student may request that assignments be sent home if a student has been absent from school two or more consecutive days. ARRIVAL/EARLY DISMISSAL All students should report to the attendance office with a parent/guardian or a note from home when entering the building after 7:35 in the morning. Consequences will be given on the fourth unexcused tardy to school. When a student needs to be dismissed early, a parent/guardian must report to the attendance office and sign the student out. The student will then be called to the office for dismissal. 5 CLASS SCHEDULE 1st Period 7:35-8:40 2nd Period 8:44-9:45 3rd Period 9:49-10:50 4th Period 10:54-12:25 5th Period 12:29-1:30 6th Period 1:34-2:35 LUNCH SCHEDULE A 7B, 7C, 7G 10:20-10:45 B 8B, 8C, 8W 10:55-11:20 C 7M, 7R 11:25-11:50 D 8P, 8S 11:59-12:24 PARENT PORTAL The Parent Portal is a source of information for parents regarding their child. You are able to check attendance, gradebook summary, report cards, discipline, schedule, lunch balances, and fines. You are able to deposit money into their lunch account from the parent portal. If you have not registered, please visit the school office with a photo identification. TEACHER WEBPAGES Teacher webpages can be located on the Wentzville Middle School homepage. Teachers are grouped by team, special area, and exploratory. LIBRARY GUIDELINES 1. All books may be checked out for two weeks and renewed for an additional two weeks provided there is no other request for the book. 2. Reference books may be checked out for one day. 3. Unless accompanied by a teacher, passes to the library are required for all students. 4. Students will be charged $.05 per day for any overdue library materials and a replacement fee for any lost materials. Any unpaid fines may result in the loss of library checkout privileges. 5. Library use after school should be pre-approved by the librarian/teacher. FOOTBALL GAMES For the safety of all of our students, and out of respect for those who are there to enjoy the game, we ask that all elementary and middle school students attend football games with a parent or guardian that STAYS at the game. The large number of middle and elementary students roaming around without an adult cannot be adequately supervised by our District administrators. Students will be reminded of this policy through the morning announcements, lunchtime and during our team meetings at the beginning of the year. We appreciate all of your support and help in this matter. 6 BICYCLE/SKATEBOARDS/SKATES The school will provide bicycle racks for those students who ride their bicycles to school. It is the student’s responsibility to secure the bicycle to the bicycle rack. Students should wait until the busses have departed before leaving school. Skates, skateboards, and scooters are not allowed in the building or on school grounds at any time. PERSONAL PROPERTY Students should keep all personal property in their backpacks. Should students find that classrooms or hallways are chilly they are encouraged to wear sweatshirts or sweaters to school. There is to be no buying, selling, or trading of any personal property on school property. CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES The Wentzville School District is offering free meals to all WSD enrolled students under COVID-19: Child Nutrition Response #85 Nationwide Waiver to Allow the Seamless Summer Option through School Year 2021-2022. Households are still encouraged to complete and submit an application for free and reduced price meals to the district for processing. Free and reduced data is used to help maintain meal count system requirements, report to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for funding formulas, and establish eligibility for other benefits, particularly Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) and Emergency Broadband Benefit. Visit the WSD website for full information on Free & Reduced Meal Guidelines. For more information, visit the WSD website. The Wentzville School District cafes are devoted to enhancing children’s health and well being by providing healthy school meals. Students have several options for lunch. The cafeteria offers a variety of choices including the daily entrée special, a specialty salad or sandwich entree, and a daily alternative or international choice. We also offer a variety of vegetables, fruits, salads, and milk. Students must select a fruit or a vegetable. You can help your child make healthy choices using the monthly menus that are posted on the District website and in every classroom. Water, juices, and other snack items are available for an additional charge. Breakfast is offered daily 20 minutes before the beginning of the school day. We offer a variety of hot breakfast items as well as cereal, toast, milk, juice, and fresh fruit daily. The Wentzville R-IV School cafes use a debit system to manage your child’s food purchases. Each child is issued a personal PIN number when they are enrolled in the District. The student uses this PIN number to access their account. Payment to your student’s account is accepted by cash or check or by credit card (online). Checks should be made payable to Wentzville School District. Credit / Debit Card payments are only accepted online through the District website. Parents must sign up for Parent Portal access to make an online payment to your child’s lunch account. Credit / Debit card payments are no longer accepted in the school or over the phone. Online payments are credited to the account immediately. The parent portal allows you to make payments and monitor purchases. PayPal is used as a clearing agent for these transactions. It is a secure online payment processing service that uses the latest electronic security to protect your information.
