WES families, this is a reminder of our upcoming WatchDOGS event! WATCH D.O.G.S.® is a national initiative and trademark; helping to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence, that education is important.

We will have a dinner for dads and kids, followed by a brief information session + challenge! For our school moms and grandmoms who are anxious to volunteer here at school, please feel free to reach out directly to your child's teacher and complete the BCSD Volunteer Clearance Application located on the district website under "Students + Parents". Thank you and we'll see you soon!
