Principal message
One Team WES Families -
Thank you for the most successful Boosterthon to date! We raised over $34,000 for WES! We appreciate your support and all that this means for our students!
On Monday, we start our MCAP (State testing) in grades 3-5. All grades will be testing in the morning, which we know is when a majority of our students are alert and energized. Please - make sure your child is here by 9:00 so they are ready to start their day.
These tests are an important measure of student and school success and we also know that these tests do not assess what makes each child unique and special. We are encouraging our students to do their best and try even when it gets difficult - this week we have been breathing in "I can" and out "do hard things". The scores we get tell us some things about each student, but they don't tell us how funny they are, how they speak multiple languages, excel at sports and band, are amazing brothers and sisters or their natural talents for singing and dancing..... and the list could go on! Please share with them this message that even though they have prepared for the test all year, there is no one "test" that measures their amazingness!
With gratitude,
Ms. McKeever

We would love to showcase different careers, in a variety of fields.
We are looking for parents/family members willing to donate their time to come in and share about their chosen career path.
We would like presenters to discuss how the 4Rs (Ready, Respectful Responsibile, and Resilient) relate to their career, the education needed for their chosen career and the tools they use daily to complete their jobs.
