Dear WCA families,

ACSI is the international organization through which WCA is accredited. As part of the ACSI organization, we're part of a global membership that spans to schools around the world - including four ACSI schools on Maui. 

Since the fires occurred, ACSI has been in contact with the four member schools, and is providing much needed assistance through the ACSI Disaster Reconstruction Fund.

ACSI is seeking our prayers and offering a way to provide direct relief to families, students, and communities affected by the recent wildfires. To make a donation, please use the link above.

HOT WEATHER

WCA encourages outdoor learning and recess when possible. However, sometimes plans must be adjusted due to weather. Please be assured that teachers are monitoring the temperature and heat index, and are planning activities accordingly - just as they do for other types of inclement weather.

Please make sure your student has a reusable water bottle every day to help them stay cool and hydrated.

FOR NEW FAMILIES: WHAT TO WEAR IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR WCA UNIFORMS

Students waiting for ordered WCA items can wear solid color collared shirts (light blue, dark blue, white, hunter green) and pants/shorts/skort (solid khaki or navy), or girls' jumper (khaki, navy, or approved plaid in school colors). Solid color uniform items can be found at Target.

Uniform policies are in the Family Handbook, p20-21 (elementary school) and p22-23 (middle school).

PARKING LOT PRAYER GROUP

Thursday mornings

after carpool drop-off

All WCA parents and are welcome.

Please join us by the flagpole on Thursday mornings after carpool for Parking Lot Prayer. This year, as we look forward to growing our school, we will explore what the Bible says about growing in Christ. We will also lift up the needs of our students, our school, and our community. You can pray out loud or quietly share the prayers of the group.

Come join us as we pray!
