Administrator Note
Dear World Compass Academy Community,
This is the last few days of our Raise Craze Fundraiser. If your family can make a financial contribution, this helps support safety and security measures and teacher professional development, even a small donation helps. If this doesn't work for your family right now, we still hope your family will contribute Acts of Kindness. Our goal is to get 5000 acts of kindness by the close of the fundraiser. This is less than 10 acts of kindness for every WCA student!
This is the perfect seasonal way to promote compassion and empathy in our community. Please take time to encourage your kids to participate and give back to the community through kindness. No act of kindness is too small!
Warm Regards,
Bethany, Krista, and Amanda

Spreading holiday cheer and giving to our teachers is one of the many ways parents make them feel loved and appreciated. Due to the limited traffic we are hoping to maintain, we decided to give parents a virtual gift giving option. We want to be respectful of everyone's comfort level with shopping and being in public places: therefore, we are sharing this website with you to assist in Holiday Gift Giving to the teachers at WCA. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

The Colorado department of public health publishes daily updates to
Attendance issues: During the month of November, while we were in quarantine, and the whole school was in remote learning, Infinite Campus developed a "glitch" and marked students with unexcused absences. I am working with the district to get this resolved. Please be patient and disregard any unexcused absences that were created in error. These unexcused absences will not be held against your student.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions hearing and vision screenings were performed differently this year. Not all students were screened. I performed screenings on all kindergarten students, new students and students on IEP's. Be on the lookout this week for referral information being sent home if your student needs to follow up with a medical provider.
Starting 12/4 I will be posting COVID-19 statistics regarding our school for you to review on the WCA website. I will update these numbers every Friday as needed. It is titled WCA Covid-19 tracking
Please stay healthy, keep yourself and others safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, and keep a safe distance.
