• Appropriate Content: Ensure all photos are school-appropriate and in line with our school standards. Avoid images with inappropriate content or language.
  
  
• Quality Matters: Please choose high-resolution images to ensure they look as good as possible. Also, keep in mind the larger pictures are easier to see. (If you choose the single picture page and create a collage, please keep in mind the smaller the picture the harder it will be to see). Please avoid blurry or low-quality pictures.
  
  
• Variety: A mix of photos such as candid shots, milestones, hobbies, sports, school events, and family are among the most meaningful ways to personalize your senior's ad.

What Does it Mean to Thrive?

• Students and parents should be mindful that certain behaviors including, but not limited to, acts of violence, vandalism, dishonesty, abusive behavior, and alcohol and drug use, are simply inconsistent with our students’ role as emerging ambassadors for Christ, and these behaviors will not be tolerated and subject to disciplinary actions. 
  
  
• Students are expected to behave in a manner that reflects positively upon the student and the school. Students are expected to take care of our campus and clean up after themselves. Students are expected to always maintain proper decorum and conduct themselves with respect for themselves and those around them. Students should not engage in public displays of affection that exceed the bounds of good taste and/or make others reasonably uncomfortable. 
  
  
• The use of drugs, alcohol, or other prohibited items (i.e., tobacco products, products with pseudo-tobacco qualities, or vaping/juuling products), including misuse or abuse of synthetic compounds, common household chemicals, prescribed or over-the-counter medicines, will not be tolerated and subject the student(s) to disciplinary actions. 
  
  
• Students using, possessing, transporting, distributing, or involved in selling or purchasing drugs, alcohol, or other prohibited items on campus or at school functions will be expelled. If student(s) are not on campus nor at a school sanctioned activity, students are still subject to severe disciplinary action with possible expulsion at the discretion of school administration, given the totality of the circumstances and in the best interests of the student and student body of the school. 
  
  
• WCS expects the entire school community to support its efforts to keep our students’ drug and alcohol-free. Parents who permit or condone the use of alcohol or controlled substances by WCS students in their home or at events or functions under the parents’ control (regardless of whether the parent is present) place their children’s continued enrollment at WCS in jeopardy. 
  
  
• Some offenses warrant immediate expulsion as determined by the administration. WCS reserves the right to expel any student whose behavior is a concern or threat to the safety, health, and well-being of our WCS community. WCS further reserves the right to expel any student for serious and/or multiple infractions (even if unrelated) of this Code of Conduct or any behavior, whether specifically referenced herein, which is deemed to constitute a departure from the behavior expected and required of WCS students.
