Summer 2022 Newsletter

Important Info for Fall 2022-23 School Year!

Summer's Here! But Fall Isn't So Far Away.....

Owls!

We hope that you are enjoying your summer break so far! We know that our students probably don't even want to think about Fall classes yet, but also know that our parents are very proactive and like to plan ahead!


We hope this Summer Newsletter provides some guidance for parents in terms of planning for the Fall. Below you can find links to our school calendar, uniform policies, school registration, student fees, our direct school website through WPS, and more.


Our front office will be closed for the summer starting June 10th, 2022.


We will be back in office to assist parents and students directly on Monday, July 25th, 2022.


Have FUN and stay safe out there this summer!

Out of District Students-Please Read!

Westminster Academy for International Studies families that live "out of district"--



For next year, students who live out of district are being asked to complete a "re-enrollment" application to complete registration for the 2022-23 school year.


Don't worry! All current students who are living out of district, are welcome back to Westy Academy for the new year. This is simply a formality in paperwork, and we apologize for any extra burdens.


Westy Academy will be emailing a WPS Open Enrollment form next week.


Please complete this form and return it to the building either by email to mellerd@westminsterpublicschools.org or in person. We will promptly confirm your student’s enrollment for the 22-23 school year. This is a new process for all out of district families open enrolling in any WPS school. Forms will need to be submitted ASAP.


Thank you!
