Good Afternoon, just a reminder WCES Parent Night is tomorrow and we would love to see more faces than before. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with your child's learning experience, meet their teachers, and learn more about how we can work together to support their academic and personal growth. Also, you will be able to ask questions or talk about any concerns you may have. See you on Thursday, November 14, 2024.

National Principals Month is celebrated in October to recognize the leadership and contributions of school principals.
Here are some ways to celebrate National Principals Month:
Thank you notes-Have students write thank you notes to their principal.
Pictures-Create a picture using thumbprints from students, a quote, and student names around the border.
Videos-Have students write a script and act it out, or have students, parents, teachers, and other staff record thank you messages for a video contest.
Resolutions-Check out the resolutions on the principalsmonth.org website to see if your state officially recognizes National Principals Month.
National Principals Month is a time to celebrate the important role principals play in schools, but it's also a time to advocate for them.
Principals face challenges and need support, and National Principals Month is a time to urge for policy changes and strategic support.

Good Evening Students and Parents,
This is Principal Peele with this week's announcements. Parents, please make sure your child is at school on time and stay at school until the end of the school day. We need to make sure students have the opportunity to take advantage of every instructional minute each day. Parents, make sure you have accepted the Remind request from your child's teacher. This allows for two-way communication between you and the teacher. Parents, to help prevent injuries, make sure your child does not wear Crocs on days he/she has PE. Students, I look forward to seeing you this week focused, ready to learn, following directions in the classroom and keeping your hands and feet to yourself. This is the end of the announcements. Thank you and enjoy your evening.
