Add a Call-to-Action

Greetings from WBS!

As we settle into the school year, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some friendly reminders with you:


  • Arrival procedures - School doors open at 8:30. Students must be at school by 8:45 to be considered on ​time. If students arrive past 8:45, please come into the school and sign in at the office.
  • Dismissal procedures - Walkers and car riders will be dismissed at 3:16 PM. Bus dismissal starts shortly ​thereafter. We call busses in the order they arrive and some of our busses have been arriving later. ​Please be patient as we navigate the bus arrival.
  • Communication to the office - If your plans change for dismissal - please call the office prior to 3:00 to ​report your changes.
  • Birthday Treats - Please feel free to send in a treat or a party favor to celebrate your child’s birthday at ​school. Individually wrapped treats with ingredients listed are preferred so we can be mindful of any food ​allergies. Please keep the treats or favors simple and manageable for school.
  • Safety Drills - Fire drills and safety drills will happen periodically through out the school year. We held our ​first Safety drill and our students responded well. We will continue to communicate with you when safety ​drills occur.
  • Toys/electronics from home - Please take a moment to ensure that your child is not bringing toys or ​important items from home into the school. We want to be sure to minimize instructional distractions or ​special items get lost or broken at school. Thank you for your partnership in this.
  • November Parent/Teacher Conferences - Please reach out to your child’s teacher to schedule a ​conference - thanks to all of you who signed up at our Back to School Night earlier this school year. ​Conferences will be held on November 25-27th.


Thanks for ALL you do to support our school community,

Mrs. Susan Hadfield, Principal
