Bear Necessities Vol. 1
Sept 8, 2026
Greetings WBS Families!
Welcome back to school! We are so excited to kick off the 2026-2027 school year with our awesome students. Last week, we welcomed over 360 students back through the doors of WBS. It was so special watching our students navigate our beautiful addition and the newly renovated primary classrooms for our Kindergarten, First, and Second grade students. Our cafeteria and main office spaces are also brand new and absolutely wonderful! The next phases of construction include renovating our fourth and fifth grade classrooms, continue updating our exterior and car rider line, and demolition of our modular classrooms. Our playground will be updated with new blacktop spaces and basketball courts on the existing modular classroom footprint. We will host school tours before every Home and School meeting this year. I hope that you will consider coming into the building to see our amazing learning spaces and then stay to become involved with our Home and School parent group.
Here are some upcoming important dates for your review:
Wednesday 9/9 - VIRTUAL Back to School Night - Classroom teachers will send you Teams links via your email to attend one of two sessions. Session 1 is 5:00-5:30 & Session 2 is 5:45-6:15.
Thursday 9/10 - ESL Family Night
Tuesday 9/15 - Home & School Meeting at 7:00 PM in the WBS Cafeteria - School Tours will take place at 6:30 prior to the meeting - hope to see you there!
Looking forward to a wonderful September. Please reach out to me or call the office with any questions you may have, and we will be happy to assist you.
