A Note from our Principal
Greetings, WPA Families,
Volunteering
WPA has a long history of amazing volunteers making a vast difference in the education we offer students. We naturally saw a dip in volunteer hours in the past few years with the impacts of Covid 19 on our community. We are very excited to be jumping into this new school year with lots of resources and tools to help support parents in making this meaningful difference in our community. We aim to have 4000 volunteer hours this year to build back to our pre-covid numbers. You can support us in meeting this goal by checking out our updated volunteer website or following one of the links below.

Fall Festival
Please mark your calendars for our Fall Festival! It will be Friday, October 7th, from 4:30-7:30. It is a beautiful way to support the school, meet new people in our community, and enjoy an evening with your family. It is also an excellent way to get in some volunteer hours. Reach out to our PTO if you are willing to help us out with this delightful event.
