     Friendly Reminders

 

     All Visitors Welcome on Campus

     In accordance with updated WCPSS policies, all signage referring to "essential visitors" has been removed from campus... Which means that all are welcome once again!  

     Please reach out to your child's classroom teacher if you are interested in volunteering on campus... All volunteers will still need to complete the online registration form, which can be accessed at any WCPSS school site.

     Update:  Families will not be permitted to eat lunch on campus here at WES for the remainder of this school year.  Please contact Mr. Zellmer with any questions/concerns. 

 

     Title One Funding and Meal Benefits

      Please help WES continue to receive our Title One funding in 2022-2023 by completing a meal benefits application online at MySchoolApps.com.  Paper applications can be requested by calling 919-588-3535. 

     As of this message, we are still 17 applications short of our funding threshold... Tell a friend, because WES really needs to maintain that funding!

 

     Sign Up for the Spirit Rock

     The WES Spirit Rock is a great way to celebrate your student! Here's how:

 

     1) Email WES PTA (wendellespta@gmail.com) to reserve the week you want to paint the rock.
