Principal Note

Dear World Compass Academy Community,

I am excited for our first Coffee and Chat coming Thursday, September 29, 2022.  We will be meeting in the school cafeteria at 7:50.  These informal community meetings are designed for me to connect with our parent community and better understand your needs and experience at WCA.  Each meeting, I will give a 15 minute presentation on a timely topic and the rest of the time will be devoted to informal conversation.  This month's topic is the WCA School Performance Framework.  

I am looking forward to reconnecting with our parent community and hope you are able to join me.  

Bethany Merkling

World Compass Academy, Principal
