Hello Wonderful Wendell Families,

     Here are the Sunday Night Announcements for the week of March 7th:

     New Stuff

     Masks Recommended, Not Required

     From WCPSS:

     On Monday, March 7th, face coverings will become recommended but not required in all settings and all school-related activities.

     Two additional things to know:

     - Staff have been instructed not to monitor face coverings... As they are recommended but not required, students can choose to wear them or not.  If you have a preference, please communicate that to your child(ren).   

     Single Subject Acceleration

     If you are interested in pursuing SSA (single subject acceleration) for your child, please visit this page of our school website to access the form.  Please note the deadline to request SSA testing is March 25th.  If you have any questions, please contact our AIG teacher, Keith Green (kkgreen@wcpss.net).      

     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.

     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.

     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.

     2) After you receive confirmation for your week, pay the $25 fee on memberhub here:
