WAES Monthly Newsletter
September 2026
Dear Families,
Welcome to a brand new school year! As we open our doors once again, I want to express how excited we are to partner with you in making this year extraordinary for your children. Last year, our campus earned an "A" rating and we hope to continue that success this school year.
Our school success happens when we all work together, and there are so many wonderful ways for you to be involved. I warmly invite you to join our PTA, who diligently works to create memorable experiences for our students. From incentives to field trip to field day; PTA always supports us! Additionally, throughout the year, we hold monthly PTA meetings with performances, informational sessions with the counselor, musical programs, and lunch visits-just to name a few. Your presence and participation make our school the special place it is. We can't wait to see you at our upcoming events and to build another amazing year together! Let's game on, level up and unlock excellence!!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rodriguez
Principal
