Communications Change: We received feedback in the Parent Survey about communications from WCS, so we have made a couple of updates. Starting this week, we will send an email and a text message instead of a phone call. The text message will have the link to our weekly newsletter, and a link to a voice recording for those who prefer to hear the weekly newsletter rather than read it. The voice recording will contain the same information that the newsletter has, but in auditory form, like a weekly radio broadcast. So if you process information visually, read our newsletter, however, if you are more of an auditory learner, listen to the recording. Thank you for giving us feedback to improve our communication. Click HERE to update your text message preferences.

Love and Logic Interest: We are thinking about bringing back the Love and Logic classes for the third year. We would like to gauge interest in that program. Please take a moment click HERE to fill out this interest survey.
