BACK TO SCHOOL / FIRST FULL WEEK
WPS PICK-UP @ 2:50 pm
Thank you for honoring our campus safety initiative and bringing your parent pick-up dismissal cards daily. We are happy to provide you with as many cards as you need. If you forget your card, you will be asked to present your id in the main office. If your child’s teacher is present and knows you, they can release your child to you without a card up till Labor Day. Please make or take extra color - coded cards for your use. You can give a set of cards to others that regularly pick up your children, or use in two different vehicles so you won’t have to remember the cards daily.
Drop-off and Breakfast
Million Father March, August 24th
The Million Father March in the bus loop was a huge success this morning. Our major, local police officers, Texas Department of Public Safety officers, pastors, dads, moms, and community members celebrated our children! Our students were absolutely delighted to enjoy this opportunity!
OPEN HOUSE @ WPS/WES TUESDAY, August 28th 5-6:30
Please join us for Open House and learn about the routines, procedures, and get to know your children’s teacher(s). Both WPS/WES will be hosting open house on this same date and time. This is a come and go event, however, there will be three presentation times in each classroom; 5:00, 5:30 & 6:00 so the teachers will only have to communicate the information 3 times vs 22 times to the individual parents. If you can’t make it to one of the scheduled times, please still come, and we will give you the cliff notes version of the information. Hopefully these times will also support your ability to make it to multiple classrooms or two campuses if you have more than once child. We hope to see you at WPS/WES!
CAMPUS DRILLS
Part of the back to school routines are practicing for any and all emergency events. We have conducted a required evacuation (fire) drill and will practice a lockdown drill next week. The students and staff take these drills seriously, and did a fantastic job. We will continue to conduct the required drills throughout the year, and I will keep you updated so you can have dialogue with your students about these events.
