Notes to Parents:
We have recently discovered that @mchsi.com parent email addresses are NOT receiving messages from Infinite Campus Messenger. Please read this post (click here) for suggested options. Please note: I do realize the irony of putting this information out in the daily announcements. If you have a friend or neighbor whose student(s) attends school along with your child, and you know they have Mediacom, please pass this along.

· All WDMCS students must have a valid school ID, guests must have a valid photo ID, to enter the dance. If you do not have proper ID, you will not be allowed into the dance (even if you have already purchased a ticket).
