What's Up Willow - News and Info

WuW is our number one way of communicating tWP Families on a weekly tmonthly basis. You must be signed up (on CBE main website) treceive “commercial emails.” We ask that parents/guardians share this information with their child(ren) as our students dnot receive this communication. We will typically send families a link that will bring you tour WP website where all WuWs are stored.

Upcoming Athletics

Our fall athletic program begins next week. Students in grades 6-9 can tryout or participate in Cross Country, Basketball and Soccer. Tryout days and times are advertised on our WILD TV screen in the main foyer.

School Council Meetings

Just a note that September’s School Council meeting is TUESDAY, September 12 in person at WPS in our Learning Commons upstairs. Our original communication stated it was Wednesday. This was incorrect.
