Happy New Year! I am happy to announce know that the testing window for Kindergarten students to sign up for our Gifted and Talented Program here at WCHE is currently open and will remain open until the end of the 3rd grading period, Thursday, March 7. Testing for the GT Program will begin promptly once the window closes.

The first part of the assessment phase will be a screener that all students will take to determine whether or not the student understands the testing format. Those students who perform well on the screener will then continue with testing and take the remaining assessments to determine qualification for the GT Program. If a student does not score well on the screener, he/she will have further opportunities in first grade and beyond to attempt the screener again the following school year.

Here is a link with additional information on our GT Program here at LTISD to determine whether or not your child may be a good candidate for our Discovery Program

Here is link to sign up Kindergarten students for GT testing this school year The deadline for GT referrals in Thursday, March 7, 2024.

Working with you,

Erin Wyatt- GT/Discovery Coordinator

If so, we hope you are willing to be a guest speaker for WCHE's Career Day on Thursday, May 9! We would be honored for you to share your expertise and excitement about your career with our students! By introducing our Tigers to a broad range of career possibilities, we hope to ignite new interests as they consider their future careers.

We are looking for parents or community members who would be willing to speak to classes of students about their jobs, when they first knew that they wanted to pursue this career, what was required to get them in that position (education,) how their job relates to their interests now, the most rewarding part of their job, and the most difficult part of their job. They will also have an opportunity to "show and tell" with props, photos, video clips, or demonstrations. Finally, they will be able to answer student questions.

Speakers will present to a particular grade level on Thursday, May 9, and they will present 4-5 sessions approximately 20 - 25 min each. Speakers will be selected by our Social Emotional Learning Team with the goal of representing a variety of career fields. If we have multiple volunteer speakers from similar career fields, speakers will be selected randomly.

Want a fun part-time job? Or, maybe you are Texas certified as an LVN or RN and would enjoy extra income from subbing for our school nurse? Then apply today for one of our open positions. Our crossing guard resigned, and we're looking for someone to cover our crosswalk a couple of hours daily. Our lunch monitors work 4 hours each day, and recess monitors work 5 hours each day. And, occasionally, Nurse Kate needs a day off and needs a substitute nurse to cover her duties.

What could be more fun!!!

Check out our open positions and apply here. And, we are also happy to have volunteers help us with these duties. Please let us know if you are interested in being a volunteer. Thanks!
