I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer. I also hope you are relaxed, recharged and ready to start a new school year. I am so delighted that you are part of our amazing learning community. I welcome and value your positive energy and dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and your children. All signs point to another incredible and productive school year.

Our skilled and devoted staff is already planning and preparing for your child(ren). Our enthusiastic office team is registering new families, ordering needed materials and updating student files. Our hard working and conscientious custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the school. And, our much-appreciated School Council is working closely with us to ensure we can welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs given the Covid restrictions. We are indeed a joyous and caring community with the common goals of nurturing responsible, caring students and promoting high-level learning.

We have been working hard this month to plan for a safe opening of school and to implement best practices to mitigate the risks associated with Covid-19. Our classrooms have been modified to increase social distancing, signage has been installed throughout the building to guide students, and our schedule has been modified to allow for more time for mask breaks, hand washing, and opportunities to access outdoor learning spaces.

Partnering with families will be crucial this year as we face some obstacles due to the global pandemic. We appreciate your support as you work with students at home to practice safety protocols such as wearing a mask and washing hands. We encourage families to stay connected and informed by following our school website and registering for MyCBE Powerschool accounts.

Thank you to all who are helping prepare for the new school year. Your commitment to ensuring that WDS remains a celebrated and successful school is awe-inspiring. I eagerly look forward to greeting students and families again. It remains an honor and privilege to serve as your principal. Together, I know we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all children.

WDS School is such a special place to learn and grow. We are proud of our beautiful school with it's outdoor learning spaces ( Nature's Place) and quaint comfortable indoor classrooms and Learning Commons; of course we are very proud of our enormous gym!

We hold high expectations for each and every student. Our students are kind, compassionate, and inquisitive. Together with our dedicated staff, we strive to make connections with students to help them feel valued, accepted, and safe. Our Three Pillars of Care guide our work daily and are the catalyst to all our conversations and inquiries. Our misssion to provide a rigorous and joyful school environment will continue; our goal is to encourage active student engagement that in tuen fosters a lifetime love for learning.

Wihing you a joyous first day of school!
