Emergency Dismissal Procedure
On rare
occasions, for instance when mechanical failures occur in a school
building or when inclement weather develops after school is in session for
the day, it may become necessary to dismiss school early. Check the
Waterford School District
Urgent
School Information Page for
details.
Our school operates a
telephone fan-out system which is activated as soon as the office is
notified there has been a change in the normal dismissal time. It is
imperative that you discuss the possibility of early
dismissal thoroughly with your children and make certain they know where
to go when you are not at home.

Emergency Card Information
If your
address or phone number(s) have changed since the beginning of the school
year, please report this information to the school's main office. A
requirement of our District's emergency management plan is to have current
parent contact information on file so information can be communicated to
you quickly and efficiently. You may access the student information card
by
clicking here. If
you are reporting an address change, you must also complete the Change of
Address and provide three new proofs of residency. This form is available
in the Main Office. Simply complete the form online, print a copy
of the form, include your signature, and return in to the school's main
office. Thank you for helping us continue providing important information
to you throughout the school year!

Ordinance Prohibits Smoking and
Tobacco Usage by Adults and Minors on School Property
In August of 1995, the Waterford Township
Board amended the Ordinance prohibiting the use of tobacco products by
minors in any educational facility in Waterford Township. The State of
Michigan Bill #459 prohibits the use of tobacco products on school
property, including adults.
School property includes the building,
athletic fields, stadiums, sidewalks, parking lots, and any other areas
located on school property. Violations are considered a civil
infraction, punishable by a fine of not more than ninety-five dollars for each
offense. Tobacco products include cigarettes, chewing tobacco or snuff,
or any other form of tobacco.
Adults who adhere to the state law send a
clear message to Waterford’s youth that smoking will not be tolerated on
school property and that tobacco use can be harmful to one’s health.
