🌷Williamston Primary School

First off I would like to thank all parents that came out during our Parent Curriculum nights for Grades K-2 to talk with grade level teachers and receive strategies to help your child at home with skills taught in class. Please continue to remain in contact with your child's teacher as we enter into the last stretches of the school year to ensure that your child finishes the school year strong. Parents with children that will be entering Kindergarten next school year, please make sure if you have not done so already that you register your child for Kindergarten. Parents please be remind that all students who arrive to school after 8:05 must be signed in the by a parent. Lastly, we are in need of volunteers for the 2022-2023 PTA as our current officers transition out. Below you will find a link to the sign-up form please complete and submit the form. We would love to have all of our parents active members of our WPS PTA, because "We do it better when we do it together". Again thank you for all that you do for WPS.
