PTO News
Our After School Enrichment winter session is full. We are working to streamline the registration process going forward as well as try to reach as many interested children as possible. If you could not get into an offering for this winter session, please use the following link to be added to the waitlist for the SPRING session. Please only use this link if you were unable to get into a club this session. Your child/ren will be able to register 24 hours prior to registration opening to the rest of the school. https://tinyurl.com/wkeswaitlist We will have a set day/time in which both the waitlist and regular registration link will open. We will be sure to let everyone know well in advance. Also, we will be limiting children to only one activity for the spring. This will help us reach more interested families! With a larger population this year, we needed to make some adjustments. Thank you for understanding and again to Alyson Clark for organizing everything!
Upcoming Dates:
February 8 - PTO Meeting at WKES Library 7:00pm-8:00pm
