HAWK TALK

From our Principal Header.png

Dear WCA Family,


Beginning Tuesday, September 7, WCA Administration is strongly urging all students at WCA to wear a face covering while inside the building of WCA. In our class families, there will be masks breaks with distancing as much as possible.  Outside, masks are optional. As things progress, we will re-evaluate.


Wearing a face covering will enable WCA to keep more students in school and avoid quarantine if those exposed are not symptomatic.  WCA greatest goal is to keep students in school.


As we navigate yet another challenge, the Administration and staff are encouraged to be walking beside each of you in the WCA Family together.


Blessings~

Adell Keen
