New Detention Forms

Parents: We have started using a new detention form, a purple form, in conjunction with a new software we are using to track discipline at the MS.  You are still only responsible for signing the bottom portion of the detention. We have just added a little bit more information to better track behavior, academic and tardy problems at WPMS. Thank you for your help in this transition.
