Friday, June 13 was the last day of the 2024-25 school year!  It’s been a great year and I wish our students and their families a happy summer! 

 

 

Huge thanks to the Wildcat PTA for your outstanding support of our end of year student activities at all grade levels!  In addition to hosting the Year 3 Dance and picnic, our PTA supported the Year 1 field trip, pizza party and Olympics and the Year 2 field trip and pizza party!  I want to specifically thank the many parents who decorated for the dance, manned the refreshments during the dance, cleaned up after the dance, met the vendors the following week to return items used at the dance, handed out hotdogs/chips/drinks at the picnic, supervised activities at the picnic, chaperoned field trips and did all the many things that nobody saw that made things run smoothly for our students as they concluded another year!  THANK YOU!!!!  

 

 

Report cards were sent home with students last week. 

 

 

WCPSS sent a message to all families with instructions for accessing your student’s Individual Score Report (ISR) for EOG/EOCs.
