We suggest you sign up for these lists:

• WCSD email list - The district list posts weather-related delays and cancellations and other news of districtwide interest.
• Van Wyck email list - All news for Van Wyck only

 Sign up for either or both of these email distribution lists.

Effective February 1, 2010 Van Wyck has instituted a new sign-in procedure for students arriving late in the morning.

All students must have a note stating the reason they are tardy.  Any student who does not have a signed note will be entered as an UNEXCUSED ABSENCE.

Parents are to enter the building and sign their student in.  Students will also sign-in and will be given a pass to be admitted to their class.
