Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up Process

Thank you for another great week at Whiteford High School. We finished Fall Testing.

No School Monday 11/2! Enjoy the long weekend!

We have started having students serve lunch detentions once they receive three tardies in one course. We are continuing to reinforce the importance of being on time to class. If your student earns a lunch detention please continue to talk with them about the importance of being on time to class. Tardies reset each marking period.

Our District-Wide Behavior Trait for October is Inclusion.

School Picture Re-Take information is in its own section below.

We continue to build our school culture through our PBIS program.

1. School Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. This system reinforces positive behavior choices. PBIS Matrix
2. We also had great conversations around our District Wide Personal Wireless Device Policy
3. School Dress Code

Go Bobcats!

Please take a moment to remind your student driver(s) about the importance of safe driving while arriving at and leaving school.

The school zone speed limit is 25 MPH during the following times:

Morning: 7:30 AM-8:30 AM

Slowing down is not only about following the posted speed limit; during arrival and dismissal, there are students walking through the parking lot, getting into vehicles, boarding buses, and crossing areas where traffic is moving.

There is also increased stop-and-go traffic as parents and family members arrive to pick up and drop off students. Driving at a slower speed gives drivers more time to react to pedestrians, buses, vehicles stopping unexpectedly, and changing traffic patterns.

Please remind students to stay alert, put distractions away, be patient, and slow down while traveling through the school zone and parking areas.
