For the Cafeteria at Western Center:
Our cafeteria is currently operated by the Spring Ford Food Service Department. Here is a link
to their web page.
https://payments.efundsforschools.com/v3/districts/55178
It provides information on utilizing eFunds for your student lunch account. You will need your
student’s Western Center ID which can be found on the student Western Center ID Badge.
It also provides information on free/reduced lunch program as well as their policy on negative
balances.
Please feel free to reach out to Tracy at tbogu@spring-ford.net with any questions you may
have.
RING! RING! Ruh-Roh! Don't forget that phone calls do not excuse absences! You need to email Attendance@westerncenter.org or send a written note when your student returns to school.
Cooperative Education
Would you like to be gaining more experience in your trade while also earning a paycheck? Co-Op gives you this opportunity! Students attend their sending high school in the morning and may work in their trade instead of attending WMCTC two to four afternoons a week. A fantastic privilege that takes planning and preparation. Students or families must provide transportation to the job site, students must meet qualifications and be hired by a participating company. Students are encouraged to speak with their instructor and Ms. Mueller in the Co-Op office to find out more.
Here is what you need to know: (from the Student Handbook p.15)
Juniors (in the Spring) and Seniors are eligible for the Cooperative Education Program based on their grades, attendance, task grid completion, NOCTI pre-test score, and technical instructor and principal recommendations. A student who has five (5) or more unexcused absences from school or more than ten (10) days excused absences from school may not be eligible for the Cooperative Education Program.

From the Nurse's Office
If a student tests positive for COVID the CDC, as well as WMCTC, recommends staying home for 5 days after your symptom start date. Your symptom start date is considered day zero. If symptoms improve by day 5 and you are fever free for 24 hours with no fever reducing medications you may return to school on day 6 (ex: symptoms start on 9/1, isolate from, 9/1 through 9/6, may return to school on 9/7 if above criteria are met).
Please let the WMCTC nurse (DDavison@WesternCenter.org) as well as WMCTC attendance (attendance@westerncenter.org) know the student is positive and will be out.
If a household family member tests positive for COVID but the student is completely symptom free, the student may come to school.
**********************************************************************************************
When a student isn't feeling well, he/she needs to visit the nurse for consultation. If a student contacts their parents without seeing the nurse, the student will still need to see Ms. Davison before dismissal.
SOAR Credit Opportunity
Seniors need to have 3 things in place to be awarded SOAR credits.
-Score overall Competent or Advanced on NOCTI testing
-Have a final cumulative GPA of 2.75 in your technical area
-Have a completed task list with all tasks marked at proficiency level
(SOAR does not include Cosmetology and Sports Medicine programs).
Students meeting these requirements will be mailed home all paperwork needed for SOAR credits. These credits are good for 16 months after graduation. Students refer to collegetransfer.net for participating schools.
What if I do not qualify for SOAR or my school is not connected to SOAR?
Take anything you have completed/earned from WMCTC (Certifications/NOCTI results/task list) to your school of interest. See if they will award any advance credit or allow you to test out of class. BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE.
