Capturing the Joy: A First Quarter Reset! 💜💛

What a JOYOUS first quarter it has been at CWC! We are so grateful for the time, communication, and commitment our families bring to CWC. As we head into the next quarter, let’s take a moment to refocus on what helps our school community shine: Being Ready, Being Safe, and Being Respectful!

A few friendly reminders to help us all stay on track:

Be Ready: Arrive on time so students are ready to learn when the day begins. Every minute counts!
Be Safe: Please follow CWC arrival and dismissal procedures. Parking lots are for PARKING, not drop-off and pick-up. We promise the car line moves much better when we all follow the same plan!
Be Respectful: Use kind words, follow directions, and remember that our actions teach just as much as our words. Our Coyotes are always watching… especially when we think they aren’t! 😉

We know our Coyotes are working hard to meet these expectations, and sometimes they need a little help from the grown-ups, too! Let’s model the behaviors we want to see and continue making CWC a place where everyone can Capture the Joy! 🐾
