Absences & Seat Time
Attendance is a crucial factor in your child's education. Excessive absences will require make-up seat time, which will begin in November. Below are the guidelines concerning seat time. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to a successful year. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Brandi Henry at bhenry@gcsd.k12.sc.us.

Nurse Notes
The DHEC recommended student health screenings will be completed at WMS on 09/24/24 through science classes. We will check vision, hearing, and dental on all 7th graders and height, weight, and BMI on all 8th graders. If you want to opt out of the screenings, please write the nurse a note or e-mail her at pmcdill@gcsd.k12.sc.us.
Dental hygienists will visit WMS on October 3rd to do exams, cleanings, x-rays, and sealants if needed. If you are interested, please scan the QR code below or download and complete the attached paperwork and return it to the nurse.
Flu Vaccine
The date for the school visit has not been determined at this time. We will share this information as soon as Nurse McDill receives this from DHEC.
