One Team WES Families -
Below is the link to register to volunteer for our Field Day on May 24 2024. We have 31 classrooms, and there are 31 stations total divided by primary and intermediate grade levels. As a result, we need 2 volunteers to run each station and we are looking to you to help us make this possible for our students!
Safety is our priority and we need to have all adult volunteers trained and signed in through the front office. This is 62 additional adults in our building for the day (with a staff of 90), in addition to several helpers from the high school. To ensure safety of our students, we are not inviting spectators to Field Day. Our front office will be busy with the additional adult volunteers, the schedule changes and helping us move 700 students throughout the day.
If you'd like to participate with your child, there are still several open spots for volunteers. We will also be inviting families to class picnics and all classes will need chaperones for the picnics. This information will come out the week of May 6. Class picnic dates and times are listed below.
Chorus and band concerts coming up and so is the PTA Spring Fling. It's a busy spring at WES and we look forward to seeing you at these events. If you have questions, please reach out!
With gratitude,
Ms. McKeever
Testing schedule - one more week to go!
Students in grades 3-5
Our students worked incredibly hard during MCAP and have earned an ice cream sundae celebration. They worked each day for one component of the sundae by doing their best on the test! We will be serving vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, sprinkles and whipped cream. The school will be providing all the supplies for the celebration (please do not send anything in from home). If you would prefer your child not participate, please let your classroom teacher know. The same with any dietary restrictions. We will ensure the food is peanut, gluten and nut free. Please let us know if your child needs an additional food accommodation (allergy related only) and we will make it happen!
