Jan 6-10

WCA families,

Happy New Year! Teachers and staff look forward to welcoming students back to school tomorrow, Jan 7.

BE TIMELY NOT TARDY: As we get back to school routines, please make sure your child arrives on time, between 8:00-8:15am. Tardy students are deprived of beneficial prep time for their day and have challenges challenges catching up when they have a late start.

WCA HEALTH POLICY: To prevent the spread of germs and illnesses to classmates and teachers, please follow the WCA Family Handbook guidelines and keep your child home if they show signs of illness. Students should be symptom free for 24 hours - without the use of medication - before returning to school.

REPORT CARDS: Reports card will be sent home Wed, Jan 8.

We look forward to second semester and the many events and activities that are planned! All parents are encouraged to participate as you're able. A great way to get involved is through PTF. Please join us!

PTF's January meeting for JK-8th grade parents is tomorrow, Tue Jan 7, 8:30am at WCA (not the Hemby House).

HS PTF will meet Thu, Jan 9, 8:30am at WCA.

Blessings to all WCA families for the new year!

WCA extends a special thank you to Mrs. Dunlap who painted this beautiful hawk and gifted it to our school. #UseYourGift
