Labor Day – No School: Westlake Charter will be closed Monday, September 4th to observe the Labor Day holiday. BASE will also be closed on this day.

After School LIVE: After-School Live is expanding joyful learning opportunities for our Explorers, and we need volunteers to lead an after-school club. Volunteers will earn all their hours for the year in one session! If you’d like to lead a club, please fill out this form, or email [email protected] for more information.

All Call Contact – Please click HERE if you would like to update which phone(s) or email(s) receive the Sunday All Call message.

Just a reminder of our commitment to safety and #Stewardship in our new neighborhood:

1. Log into School Dismissal Manager: Inform the school each day how you want your student to be dismissed.
2. No stopping to drop off or pick up in the middle of the street: If you would like to stay in your car, please come to the parking lot or use our local parks to drop off or pick up.
3. Please park appropriately in Green Parking zones: For example, we are hearing from our neighbors that driveways are being blocked – let’s be good stewards of our community.

WAVE Board Meeting: This Thursday, September 7th, please join us for our first WAVE Board meeting of the year. We’ll be meeting in Room G106, Mrs. Haley’s classroom, at 6:30pm. Room G106 is located right next to the front gate. You’ll have an opportunity to meet the WAVE board, hear from our wonderful WCS Admin team and learn about ways to get involved this school year. We have a lot of exciting activities planned and cannot do it without your help and support.

Arden Fair School Cents: Next Saturday, September 9th, head on over to Arden Fair Mall’s center court (by the big elevator and Nordstrom) between 10-11am for a free Kids Club event featuring Minute to Win It games. Be sure to check in under Westlake Charter School at the table in order for WCS to earn 1,000 points per student in the School Cents competition! Thousands of dollars are awarded each year to the participating schools based on points earned during the school year.
