This year, we are partnering with Varsity Tutors again (read last year's announcement)! Through VarsityTutors, every student in the WSD can take advantage of powerful learning resources, at no cost. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child’s education by assisting them in selecting lessons that cater to their specific needs for additional support. Access will still be provided through ClassLink LaunchPad student portal.

WSD would like to provide additional details on updated district grading practices that were implemented to better reflect your child's understanding and progress in school. See the link below for this information: A New Grading System: Focus on Learning and Mastery

PVE staff and students are preparing for the upcoming Hawk Walk of Fame Assembly. These monthly ceremonies are based on the 7 Habits of Happy Kids. Teachers nominate a student from their class that has consistently demonstrated their understanding and application of the current habit. These students are honored in that month's Hawk Walk of Fame Assembly.

January's Habit is "Think Win Win."

February's Habit is "Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood".

Our next late start days is Monday, February 10 and/or Monday, March 10. The WSD will provide supervision for K-5 students who need to be dropped off at the regular start time on Late Start Days. This is separate from our Before Care Program through Chautauqua. Register your student.

Has your child's teacher made a significant impact on their education and life? Do you want to recognize a staff member who goes above and beyond? We're rolling out a new way to honor our staff, and it only takes a few minutes to do. Nominate a teacher or employee for a Wentzville Wow Factor Award anytime throughout the school year to let them know they are making a difference!
