Although we have put numerous hours into our planning process, there will undoubtedly be more to prepare for as things will occur that we have never experienced prior to the COVID-19 era. Please feel free to email your thoughts, questions or concerns to principal, Gerald Tidwell, (tidwellg@warrenschools.com) and together we will do what is best for all of our WCMS students, staff and families. Morning Bus Rooms: In previous years we have had only 2 morning bus rooms; 1 in the cafeteria for 8th graders and another in the gym for 6th and 7th graders. In order to adequately spread out our students when they arrive to school between 7:00-7:35 a.m., we will move to add a 3rd morning bus room. The locations are as follows: Cafeteria – 8th graders will continue to report to the cafeteria and will sit every other seat at each of the available cafeteria tables. Each of these seats will be marked with an “X” indicating X marks the spot to sit. Discoverer students will be assigned to tables on the east side of the cafeteria and Bear students will be assigned tables on the west side. All students will remain seated in bus rooms until dismissed by a WCMS staff member. Gym – 7th graders will continue to report to the gym with one small change. Pathfinders will continue to sit in the upper gym but Rockets will now sit in the lower gym. Each sitting location will be marked with an “X” indicating X marks the spot to sit. All students will remain seated in bus rooms until dismissed by a WCMS staff member. Auditorium – 6th graders will now report to the auditorium for their morning bus room location. Students will follow the “1 X 1” seating rule anytime they are in the auditorium which means there will be 1 seat between each student and 1 row of seats between each row of students. When facing the stage, Prospectors will sit on the left side of the auditorium, Navigators will sit in the middle section and the Trailblazers will sit on the right side. All students will remain seated in bus rooms until dismissed by a WCMS staff member. Morning Arrival to WCMS: Students are assigned drop off locations by their grade level. Once students arrive to campus, they are to report directly to their assigned bus room if they arrive prior to 7:37 a.m. If they arrive after 7:37 a.m., they will report directly to their homeroom class. Below is a brief explanation of where students will enter our building: 6th grade 6th grade car riders should be dropped off in the circle parking lot in front of the auditorium and enter the front auditorium doors. 6th grade bus riders will enter the side gym door and will be directed to go down the right side of the Navigator hallway to the auditorium. 6th grade students, who ride special transportation, will be directed to enter the school through the Navigator double doors and proceed down the right side of the hallway to the auditorium or report directly to Mrs. Payne’s or Mrs. Wallace’s classroom. 6th grade students who are dropped off with a 7th or 8th grade sibling, may be dropped off in the 7th/8th grade parking lot. They will then enter the corner door and proceed down the right side of the Prospector hallway to the auditorium. Only 6th graders with older siblings may be dropped off in the 7th/8th grade parking lot. 7th grade 7th grade car riders should be dropped off in the 7th/8th grade parking lot (located between the cafeteria and auditorium) and enter the building through the corner door. 7th grade students will then proceed down the right side of the Navigator hallway to the gym. 7th grade bus riders will enter the side gym door. Rocket students will sit in the lower gym and Pathfinder students will sit in the upper gym. 7th grade students, who ride special transportation, will be directed to enter the school through the Navigator double doors and proceed down the right side of the hallway to the upper (Pathfinders) or lower (Rockets) gym or report directly to Mrs. Payne’s or Mrs. Wallace’s classroom. 8th grade 8th grade car riders should be dropped off in the 7th/8th grade parking lot and enter the cafeteria through the side door. Discoverer students will sit on the east side of the cafeteria and Bear students will sit on the west side. 8th grade bus riders will enter the cafeteria through the opposite side door and sit on the east (Discoverers) or west (Bears) side of the cafeteria. 8th grade students, who ride special transportation, will be directed to enter the school through the Navigator double doors and proceed down the right side of the hallway to the cafeteria and sit on the east side (Discoverers) or west side (Bears) or report directly to Mrs. Payne’s or Mrs. Wallace’s classroom. Morning Student Temperature Checks: Each morning, all students that enter the school will have their temperature checked with a touchless forehead digital thermometer. Students that have a temperature of 100.4 or higher, or exhibit symptoms consistent with COVID-19, will immediately receive a mask (if they aren’t already wearing one) and will be taken to the nurse’s office. The student’s temperature will then be taken again, orally, and if it continues to be 100.4 or higher, the student will be required to return home. If the student temperature is less than 100.4, when taken orally, that student will be allowed to attend class at the 7:35 a.m. bell. The school nurse will decide on how to proceed with any COVID-19 symptoms the student has. When students are sent home due to having a temperature of 100.4 or higher, they should not return to school until they have consulted with their health care provider. A WCMS staff member will be monitoring each entrance door and will take student temperatures immediately when the student enters the building.
