Requests must be submitted during the application period. Requests will be processed and notification of approval or denial will be sent via email, or U.S. Mail, approximately the first week of March 2019.

By law, applications cannot be accepted after February 1, 2019.

20th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration 2019
2019-2020 WLCSD Calendar is now available!
Please note:
· We will start the school year prior to Labor Day again.
· Late starts (middle school) and early release (high schools) have been eliminated.
· There are several half-days throughout the school year.
As we have in the past, we will offer a reduced rate Prime Time Care service on each of these half days.
You might be wondering...Why are there so many half days?
Throughout the school year, there are eight half days that will be used for staff professional development. We recognize that half days can be inconvenient for families. That said, research has shown that when teachers receive ongoing, job-embedded professional development, they can increase student achievement by as much as 21 percentile points (Source). As a school and district, we are committed to continuous improvement and these eight half days are an essential part of that commitment. Although they may seem inconvenient, staff development opportunities are crucial to ensure we provide an exemplary education for our children.
