Willow Springs Elementary School Policies

Volunteer reminder:

Wake County requires volunteers to register on a Wake County Public School System computer. Some volunteer activities require background checks, some do not. After you have registered, you will get your “Volunteer” tag to wear each time you volunteer at Willow Springs Elementary. Registration is required every school year. It does not carry over from one year to the next. Our Media Center computers are available for registrations and updates.

Kindergarten parents:

Staggered Entry (first five days of school)
To ease the entrance to Kindergarten, each child will attend school only one full day during the first four days of school. Your child's Kindergarten teacher will notify you by letter which day your child should attend. The student should bring lunch (if bringing from home), snack, large bookbag and a towel for rest. (For a complete list of suggested supplies, click here.)

Absences/late arrival:

Please write a note to your child's classroom teacher indicating the reason for your child's absence upon his/her return. When a student arrives late, you are asked to sign him/her in at the front office.

Medications:

School officials may administer medication to students if the "Parent Request and Physician Order for Medication" form (1702) is completed and in the possession of school officials (Form 1702 is available at the school office)

No medication will be given by a school official unless it is in a container dispensed by a pharmacy with the student's name, name of medication, the date the prescription was filled, and directions clearly marked.

At the elementary level, no self-medication, including over-the-counter medicine, is permitted.

Parents are responsible for transporting all medicines to school unless special arrangements are made with the Principal or it is an emergency medicine that the child has permission to keep with him.
