Center Stage

Principal’s Message
Welcome back! We hope that the first week of school has been enjoyable and new routines have been established in your household. Our team has hit the ground running this year and there is an incredible sense of promise echoing throughout our hallways. The first two days of school were spent modeling procedures and expectations for all students. This included how to safely line up after recess, where to sit in the cafeteria, why rules of safety are important when riding the school bus, and the reasons for remaining alert during car dismissal. Students were very attentive and mastered routines quickly.
Hopefully you have noticed a great improvement in the volume of traffic that typically becomes a problem for us at arrival and dismissal times. Thank you for your efforts to follow our most updated protocols! One major change we have made this year has been in our bus dismissal procedure. Students are dismissed from their classrooms and this change has allowed us to utilize every bit of our front driveway, resulting in much more efficient dismissals. We expect to improve each day as we learn the typical pattern of bus arrivals.
We hope to see you at the annual PTA Ice Cream Social on Thursday, September 20, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. This is always a great event! We also look forward to seeing you at our Open House sessions coming up on September 24 and 25. There, we will provide academic updates and you will have another opportunity to tour classrooms and visit teachers. We plan to have our District's school resource officers share some very important information regarding life safety protocols as well.
Lastly, we hope that you enjoy our updated newsletter format. We will plan on sending home newsletters on a bi-weekly basis and post each "Center Stage" newsletter on the WCS page of the District website, under the "What's New" section. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Rory O'Connor
