You Belong Here: A Super Start to Your Child's School Year!

Welcome back, parents and guardians! We're kicking off our "You Belong Here" campaign by showing how crucial it is for your child to start strong. Ensuring their attendance from the start means they don't miss out on any of the beginning-of-school experiences – meeting their new teacher, seeing friends, and settling into classroom routines. These early days help your child feel comfortable in their new environment and excited about the year ahead. When you prioritize daily attendance, you're helping your child become a learning superhero, ready to tackle new challenges and make new friends. Let's make this the best year ever – and it all starts with your child being here, from the very start!

PTO 2024-2025 Calendar of Events

Wildcat Workers

Wildcat Workers come to the school each week on Wednesdays and Fridays to help our teachers and staff behind the scenes. We prep classroom projects, laminate, set up bulletin boards, organize Friday Folders, and take care of other tasks as requested. Most days we work 8:05-9:30am. We appreciate any time you can give. If you can help on Wednesdays and Fridays, great! But if you can only help on one of those days we appreciate that, too. We understand that our volunteers might not be available every week. Thank you for signing up!

Walnut Creek School Directory

A school directory is being compiled for the 2024-25 school year. If you would like a copy, please send $5 cash or check to school. You can also purchase through Paypal @wcpto. The directory will be sent home with your child in early October.
