Rooms is a two-way communication and messaging tool integrated directly with your BCSD app.

To centralize communication and to ensure a more "one-stop shop" method of communication from school to home, WES will move from Classroom Dojo to Rooms, which is aligned with our BCSD app.

We will be sharing more information with Rooms in our Thursday Folders over the next month with the plan to have full implementation by Friday, November 10th.

Our school clothes closet is in need of the following sizes: boys pants 6-8, and 10-12 as well as girls pants 10 -12. If you have any gently used bottoms that you would be willing to donate, please send them to Miss Gard or Nurse Denise.

Thank you,
Frances Gard

Greeting WES families, Friday October 20, 2023 your child brought home a personalized order form for an art fundraiser through Art to Remember. We have been working hard the first few weeks of school to complete these special projects that you will see front and center on the order form. You can scan the QR code or visit the website and view your child’s artwork on over 50 products! You do all your ordering online and can have the order shipped to Whitesville for free or pay shipping for home delivery. All products you order and ship to WES will be delivered the first week of December, just in time for the holidays! Proceeds from this fundraiser come right back to the WES art department for art supplies and special art projects. If you have any questions please email me directly at estepe@bcsdschools.net.

Thank you for your support of the arts at Whitesville and thank you for supporting your child’s creativity!

All order must be placed by November 3, 2023.
