🚗 Student Pick-Up

  • If the person picking up your child is not listed on the student’s contact list please make sure to: call the WMS Main Office (440-975-3600) and email the name of the person picking up. Only the custodial parent/guardian may call the Safe Arrival line to request an early release, must be notified if a student leaves from the Clinic, and must approve any alternate pick-up—being listed as an emergency contact alone does not grant pick-up permission.
