6th Graders moving into Junior High
A letter was sent home with your student that needs to be returned by THIS Friday
January 26. 2024, indicating the Junior High they will be attending next year. This can be turned in to the office or the teacher. This helps the junior high school reach out to you
about 7th-grade orientation.

Post Office Week!
February 5th - 9th kicks off one of our favorite WPA traditions. Post Office Week is where students, teachers, staff, and PARENTS have the option to write and send postcards to each other through our in-house "mailing system." There will be a mailbox set up in front of the school for parents and other family members to drop off letters and postcards to be mailed. Families can join in the fun by writing letters to their children, supporting them in writing letters and postcards to each other or coming in to help us sort mail. Please reach out to Gwen Fisher to volunteer. gwenfisher116@gmail.com
Valentines Day
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on February 14th with cards, class parties, and the 6th grade dance. Reach out to your student's teacher for additional details and ways to help!
This day will also be a dress-down day for all students. Sixth Graders will dress up.. for the Dance! We are still looking for volunteers to help with the 6th-grade dance (decorating, taking photos, setting up the photo booth, and the take-home treat table.)
To make this the best event, we ask parents to help us decorate, provide pre-wrapped parting treats, label water bottles, and help us set up a photo booth! Please see the attached sign-up if you are interested: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805094BACA92AA0FE3-47423897-sixth
If you are helping with any of the Valentine's Day fun, we are offering the opportunity to shorten the line at the front office with our precheck-in option. Fill out the link here to precheck in.
LOST BRACELET!!
We have a lost Pandora bracelet. There were three charms on it. One was a dog footprint, another one was a butterfly. If your student has found it, we would love to have it back. There is a $50.00 Reward being offered.
LOST AND FOUND!
Our lost and found closet will be cleaned out at the end of the month. Please check for anything that you have missed before it gets donated! Also, did you know that we check lost coats, jackets, etc. for names before we donate them? Take a moment to label your student's clothing so we can get it back to your student.
School Spelling Bee- Class Bees this week!
We will be kicking off the school spelling bee in the coming weeks. Winners from our school are invited to participate in the Davis District Spelling Bee. Students wishing to practice before participating in the classroom spelling bees can access the practice list below.
WPA 2024-2025 Lottery- Is Open NOW
Do you know someone who would love WPA? Our very best advertising for WPA has always come by word of mouth from WPA’s families. If you know of a family that would love what we have to offer at WPA, please take a moment to tell them what you like about our school and share our lottery link. You can also invite them to visit us in person by taking a tour. Please call the front office to make arrangements.
