We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible faculty and staff for helping make the beginning of the school year such a success. From preparing classrooms and welcoming famlies to helping our Wolf Pups settle into their routines, their had work, care and dedication have been evident throughout our building.

Most importantly, thank you to our families for trusting us with your children and for the warm welcome you have given us. We are excited about the year ahead and look forward to partnering with you as we help every student learn, grow, and discover the leader within themselves.

Reading Intervention Assessments

This fall, teachers and reading specialist will be conducting reading assessments with all students. These assessments help plan for daily instruction and identify students who might benefit from extra reading support. To complete these assessments, reading specialist may work with students in small groups. Working in a small group for testing is separate from receiving reading intervention services. If assessment results show that your child qualifies for reading intervention, you will be contacted directly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your child's classroom teacher.

Counseling Corner

Growing up is a journey that is full of twists and turns, and we look to our counseling team to help students navigate those complexities- from friendships, to big feelings, to unexpected life events, and so much more, our counselors are here to support each of our students and families each step of the way. Please see the linked newsletter for a welcoming word from our counseling team.

Making the Most of Your Stopfinder App

Is your student a bus rider?

Stopfinder is the WSD transportation app for bus-riding families. It provides families with convenient access to their student's transportation information and is the district's primary source for transportation notifications.

Read about the Stopfinder app and how it can work for you by turning on notifications, which are not automatically set up, or sharing access to route information with caregivers.
