Carpool Late Arrival

If you arrive after 8:15 am, please walk your child into school and sign them in at the front desk. This will keep our students safe and allow the carpool staff to return to the classrooms and begin the school day on time.

Back to School Night

Thursday, August 25, 6:30 pm-7:30 pm (NEW TIME!)

Let's gather our Hawks family to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. All classrooms will be open from 6:30 pm to 7 pm so your student can give you a tour. Our Hawks are excited to show you how their class has been working on building community and learning more about this year's theme, #lovefirst. At 7 pm, please gather outside behind the school at our new Outdoor Classroom, the Hawk's Nest. Together, we will pray over this new space and celebrate by releasing a rehabilitated hawk to soar high over our beautiful campus.

Birthday Celebrations

Birthdays are very special and exciting days for students. As a school, we want to continue recognizing this special day while being sensitive to our Healthy Hawks commitment and student allergies. As a school, we would like to move away from sugary treats and replace them with healthy snacks or non-food celebrations. Birthday celebrations will look different in each class and grade level. Students, teachers, and parents will collaborate to choose an appropriate celebration option for the class and each child. Stay tuned for more details from your teachers.

Remind Text Alerts

WCA uses the Remind app to remind parents of last-minute updates and other important information. If you are not receiving the school text alerts, please inform your teacher or email Mrs. Harris at jharris@wcahawks.org.
