Hello WMS Families!
I wanted to take a moment to relay our drop off and pick up procedures for before and after school. Our doors will open at 7:05A.M. and we will release at 2:35P.M.
Our drop off and pick up locations are divided by grade level, however if you have students in both grades they will be allowed to enter either location.
8th Grade:
Drop off and pick up will take place at the main entrance of the Middle School. Use the west entrance and proceed to pull along the sidewalk to the far end. Please drop off/pick up your student and follow the designated path back to the highway. During drop off and pick up you will only be able to turn right when leaving the school to ensure steady flow of traffic.
7th Grade:
Drop off and pick up will take place on the west side of the building near the tennis courts. Enter the parking lot and follow the sidewalk/1st row of parking to the door to drop off and pick up your students. Please proceed around the outside lane of the parking lot back towards the entrance. Right turn only out of the parking lot to ensure steady flow of traffic.

Waynesville R-VI students: New law goes into effect this school year
Beginning with the 2025-26 school year, Missouri law (Senate Bill 68 https://www.senate.mo.gov/25info/pdf-bill/tat/SB68.pdf pages 62-64) prohibits students from using or displaying electronic personal communication devices from the beginning until the end of the school day, including, but not limited to, during instructional time, meal times, breaks, time between classes and study halls.
The majority of our students (PreK-8th) have already been following this policy.
The law defines an "electronic personal communications device" as a portable device that is used to initiate, receive, store, or view communication, information, images, or data electronically. All student phones and devices will now need to be stored for the entire school day.
More details regarding enforcement and consequences of violating the district’s electronic devices policy will be available in an updated Student Handbook and Discipline Policy.
More details will be communicated to families in the future. We look forward to your support as we implement these new policy changes.
Please send your questions to questions@waynesville.k12.mo.us. We will use your questions to develop follow up communication.
