PTO
 
Thank you to those of you who participated in PTO this year! We raised almost $10,000 this year! PTO still meets during the summer in preparation for the beginning of the school year. Please contact Lori Wilson if you're interested in dates/times for the summer PTO meetings. Thank you for giving back to your students classroom/school!

Box Tops for Education! Please continue collecting them over the summer and turn them in next year! This fundraiser is continuous and funds many needed items! Thank you!

It has been an honor to service on PTO this year - for our teachers, staff, school and students. There is great joy in serving and watching God's hand at work in our school. May He continue to bless WVCS and all our families! Enjoy your summer and look forward to another great year starting in August! Thank you for all that have served and given many hours and donations this year! PTO cannot function without you!
Dear WVCS families,

Happy summer to you!  Our faculty and staff are busy preparing for the first day of the upcoming school year.  Our classrooms are in the process of becoming shiny and new.  The classrooms are being scrubbed, waxed,, and painted. As our faculty enjoy their summer vacation with their families and friends, they are still preparing to make next year their best year yet. 
 
With all of the preparations going on around us, we want to be sure you are also prepared for the upcoming school year.  Below are welcome letters, summer assignments, some important dates, and information regarding your child's specific grade and general information for all of our elementary students and families.  
 
The school office is open every day from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Monday through Friday through the month of July.  Please stop by or call 818-884-4710 if you have any questions.
