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.
