We want to assure our community that we care deeply about the safety and well-being of all students. We understand the concern expressed about bus seating and are taking immediate steps to review our processes to ensure every child has a safe and secure ride to and from school. The district is committed to addressing these concerns with the utmost attention. We are working closely with our transportation team to assess the current situation and make adjustments where necessary.

From September 15th to October 15th, our district is proud to join the nation in honoring Hispanic Heritage Month! This is an important time to recognize and celebrate the profound influence of Hispanic and Latino communities on our history, culture, and achievements. Throughout the month, students and staff across all our schools will engage in activities that highlight the rich traditions, vibrant cultures, and incredible contributions of Hispanic and Latino leaders in fields such as education, arts, science, and beyond. We encourage our community to follow along as we showcase student projects, classroom discussions, and school-wide events that celebrate the diversity and unity of our district. Together, we’ll learn, grow, and honor the stories that shape our world. #WCSDWarriors #ExpandEmpowerExcel #HispanicHeritageMonth #DiversityInEducation
