As we near the end of the year and the collection of books, we would like to encourage parents to look through their students’ books. Please help your students erase pencil markings and have your students bring their books into the Curriculum Office for any repairs. Repairs include, but are not limited to, page rips, holes in pages, and spine separation. Please do not attempt to repair anything yourself as we have special book glues and tapes. This check will help you be aware of any damages and the condition of your student’s books and help your student’s teachers with this end of the year task.
It is time once again for our WV2/WV3 Lights Off Summer Fun Carnival! This is a FREE family fun event for the entire school!
