Welcome to WSD
A message for new students and families
Welcome and thank you for choosing Wenatchee School District
Whether you are new to our community or simply adding a new student to our family, I want you to know that your child's arrival matters to us.
Not as a number or an enrollment figure but as an individual. Someone who will spend a significant part of their childhood in our care, and whose success we take personally. I take it personally.
From the moment a child walks through the doors of one of our early learning programs to the day they cross the graduation stage, we are committed to an experience that is safe, welcoming, and full of possibility. In our elementary schools, we build the foundation every child needs: literacy, math, social-emotional skills, and a love of learning. In middle school, we walk alongside students through one of the most important transitions of their lives. And by high school, the possibilities open up with career-connected learning, college preparation, athletics, performing arts, and so much more designed to help every student find their path and pursue it with confidence.
Safe and healthy learning environments are the foundation of everything we do from our youngest learners to our graduating seniors ready for their futures. That is why Wenatchee School District has placed a bond measure on the November 3, 2026 ballot that, if approved by voters, would support safe and healthy schools at every level of our district. I encourage you to learn more at wenatcheeschools.org/bond.
What I ask of you is simple: partnership.
Talk to your child's teacher. Attend school events. Show up for your student and let us show up alongside you. I also encourage every family to be an active and informed part of our community, including the decisions that shape our schools. The decisions made at the ballot box directly affect the resources available to your child every single day. Being part of this community means having a voice in those decisions, so please make sure you are registered to vote and stay informed about the issues facing our district. Our schools are only as strong as the community that supports them, and you are now part of that community.
We are honored to have your family as part of the WSD family.

Superintendent, Wenatchee School District
Bienvenidos y gracias por elegir el Distrito Escolar de Wenatchee
Ya sea que es nuevo en nuestra comunidad o simplemente agrego a un nuevo estudiante a nuestra familia, quiero que sepa que la llegada de su estudiante es importante para nosotros.
No como un número o una cifra de matriculación, sino como un individuo. Alguien que pasará una parte significativa de su infancia a nuestro cuidado, y cuyo éxito lo tomamos muy en serio. Yo me lo tomo muy en serio.
Desde el momento en que un niño entra por las puertas de uno de nuestros programas de educación infantil hasta el día de su graduación, nos comprometemos a brindarle una experiencia segura, acogedora y llena de posibilidades. En nuestras escuelas primarias, construimos los cimientos que todo niño necesita: lectoescritura, matemáticas, habilidades socioemocionales y amor por el aprendizaje. En la escuela secundaria, acompañamos a los estudiantes en una de las transiciones más importantes de sus vidas. Y en la preparatoria, se abren un mundo de posibilidades con aprendizaje orientado al mundo laboral, preparación universitaria, deportes, artes escénicas y mucho más, diseñado para ayudar a cada estudiante a encontrar su camino y recorrerlo con confianza.
Los entornos de aprendizaje seguros y saludables son la base de todo lo que hacemos, desde nuestros estudiantes más pequeños hasta nuestros estudiantes de último año, quienes se preparan para su futuro. Por eso, el Distrito Escolar de Wenatchee ha presentado una propuesta de bonos en la boleta electoral del 3 de noviembre de 2026 que, de ser aprobada por los votantes, apoyan a escuelas seguras y saludables en todos los niveles de nuestro distrito. Los invito a obtener más información en wenatcheeschools.org/bond.
Lo que les pido es simple: asociación. Hable con el maestro de su estudiante. Asista a los eventos escolares. Apoye a su estudiante y permítanos apoyarlo. También animo a todas las familias a ser parte activa e informada de nuestra comunidad, incluyendo las decisiones que dan forma a nuestras escuelas. Las decisiones que se toman en las urnas electorales afectan directamente los recursos disponibles para su estudiante todos los días. Ser parte de esta comunidad significa tener voz en esas decisiones, así que asegúrese de estar registrado para votar y manténgase informado sobre los temas que afectan a nuestro distrito. Nuestras escuelas son tan fuertes como la comunidad que las apoya, y usted ahora es parte de esa comunidad. Es un honor para nosotros tener a su familia como parte de la familia de WSD.
