Order your pizza dinner by September 6th here and enjoy dinner with other WES families before heading into the school to see your child's classroom!
 
 
Carpool Reminders:
 
Please remember that carpool begins at 3:45 and ends at 4. If you are not in line by 4, you could be late to pick up your child and asked to come in to check them out. We do not have supervision available for your child after dismissal has been completed.
 
If unable to pick your child up by 4, we encourage you to investigate some of the following after-school care options:
 
YMCA After-School Care-bus picks up here at school
Y-Learning - a application only free tutoring program located here at our school beginning by first of October.
Wakefield Creative Childcare - bus pick up here at school
Local Daycare Facilities and Activity Centers
 
 
Early Dismissal- If you are planning on checking your child out of school prior to dismissal at 3:45, you must check them out by 3:15.
 
Early Arrival - We do not have supervision for your children prior to 8:45 each morning unless they are enrolled in our Before School Care program. Please do not send or drop your child off before this time as it is not safe nor secure.
 
 
PTA Announcements:
 
JOIN THE PTA 
We want YOU to join the PTA!! Why? Our PTA loves to support our families and staff through cultural arts programing, fun events, spiritwear, field trip funds and teacher/grade level grants. It is also a great way to stay connected to what is happening at WES. Parents, teachers, family and friends can all join for only $10 to help contribute toward your child’s classroom winning an ICE CREAM PARTY! We will post the leaderboard through October 31!
 
SPIRITWEAR

Order your spiritwear here by September 21st! This year, we're excited to offer some fantastic new pieces, including the Wakefield Pride t-shirts—perfect for showing your school spirit at Wakefield Middle and High School events. Our popular vibrant tie-dye t-shirts are back, along with long-sleeved options celebrating Wakefield's 25th anniversary with special "Est. 1999" gear! Please note that we won't be stocking extras, so this is your only chance to grab these items. Don’t miss out!
