Happy 100th Day of School and Jersey Day

100th Day of School and Jersey Day

Our SCA kicked off our spirit week with Jersey Day! We also celebrated the 100th day of school today, and kindergarteners showed off their 100th day of school pride with all sorts of creative ideas.

100th day parade

Students and families lined the hallways as our kindergartners marched in their annual 100th-day parade.


This Week is Spirit Week

Spirit Week

WSES Watch D.O.G.S. are back!

Watch DOGS

We are excited to share that our Watch D.O.G.S. are back for the second semester! The first semester brought in so many wonderful male adults to our classrooms. Thank you to all who joined us in the Fall, and we are looking forward to seeing some new faces as we close out the Winter months and into Spring. Please read some of our reminders, updates, and changes found below before clicking on the sign-up link.

  • Please sign up at least one week before the date you would like to volunteer to allow our teachers time to plan and prepare.
  • Consider reaching out to the classroom teacher to determine if a date conflicts with additional activities or events (i.e., in-classroom assessments, field trips, etc.).
  • Please limit volunteering to one time per semester (per child) to allow opportunities for other Watch D.O.G.S. to volunteer.
  • Teachers will have one volunteer per week in their classroom. Please look at the entire week you would like to sign up to see if a volunteer is already signed up. Feel free to contact Jason Fullen or Lesley Hassen if there is a significant conflict.
  • Please adhere to the provided schedule while volunteering and communicate with the homeroom teacher and staff members should a plan be altered.
  • Please do not take photos of other students while volunteering in classrooms.
  • Remember to come to the front office when you arrive, pick up your schedule, and take a photo with your child. You will then be featured on our WSES Morning News Show and head to class with your child.
  • Should you choose to participate for half of a day please make sure to communicate with the homeroom teacher ahead of time.

We look forward to another great semester with our Watch D.O.G.S. Click HERE to access the sign-up link. Please reach out to Jason Fullen with any specific questions.
