Day 1 of College-Going Culture Week ✅
Up Next➡️Career Day! On Tuesday, dress for the career you want to have someday!
It was so fun to see our staff dressed in their Alma Mater today! It was also cool to hear students ask questions about our staff’s college experiences and why they chose to go where they did!


Way to go Elementary Team! WPS is so lucky to have such dedicated teachers who are committed to professional growth and the growth of their students. GBB!


Next Week at WPS we will celebrate College-Going Culture Week. This is a week where students in all grades will hear about where the people in our school went to college, how college can benefit them and their future, different careers, and hopefully spark conversations about college and careers at home! Students can celebrate daily with the different dress-up days!


This week’s character trait was adaptable! These students were caught being adaptable throughout their week! Nice work kids!



Last week’s character trait was reliable! We are proud of these student for displaying this character trait throughout their week!




The character trait for the week of April 7th was positivity! Congratulations to these kids for displaying positivity throughout their day at school!
