Greetings, Bulldog Families!  Please see important information, school articles, volunteer opportunities, photo galleries, and dates below.

CSI Communication Goal

This year, one of our CSI goals is to improve internal and external communication. We are using the data from the district survey and Open House feedback request to guide our next steps. During Open House there were twenty responses. We are looking for parent volunteers to join a Parent Communication Team. To help us improve our communication and/or sign up to be a volunteer member, please answer the questions on the WPES Communication form link. Thank you for your partnership!
