During the month of November, your student will be participating in an important personal safety lesson called Think First and Stay Safe. The lesson is presented by our School Counselor, Ms. Khedr, to students in every grade. She will be in the classrooms teaching essential personal safety skills with a positive, non-threatening approach.

If you would not like your student to participate in the lesson, please fill out and return the attached opt out form to your child’s homeroom teacher by October 25, 2024.

October is National Bullying Prevention month, and our creating character word of the month is inclusion. In our classroom lessons, we will be talking about how bullying prevention and inclusion work together. Promoting a school community where every student, regardless of their background or abilities, feels valued, respected, and welcomed is our goal at WCES. We encourage kindness, empathy, and understanding to create a supportive environment for all. Let’s celebrate our differences and embrace the power of inclusion!

Wear Royal Blue on Monday, October 7 to recognize Bullying Prevention Month.

Looking to get your kids some Wilson Creek attire? Order on our online store here and we will send it home with your child:

As the weather turns colder, we are seeing more and more jackets turn up in the lost and found. Please tell your children to check for their lost items, or you can come in and look for them yourself. All items remaining will be donated after Friday October 11.
