Communication
Annual WCPSS Student Surveys for grades 4&5 - school engagement and "grit"(approx 10 minutes) and focus of 4th grade is extracurricular activities and advanced courses (5-6 minutes). Each survey is available in both English and Spanish and each student can access their survey in either language using the following link: http://surlogin.wcpss.net/. Students must take these surveys at school, as the link is not accessible outside of the WCPSS computer network. students will have to use their PowerSchool ID number to access their survey. The surveys will remain active from March 20th to May 26th, so please ensure that all grades 4-5 and 7-12 students have the opportunity to complete the survey at school before May 26th. Results will be tabulated by school and reported out this summer.

Beautification - Our Grounds Day was a success! We were able to do a lot of trimming, cleaning and mulching the playground area. Thank you to Alexandria and Ceil for assisting in this event. Teachers please be sure that students are using the sidewalk chalk in appropriate places (not the bricks area).

Artspleasure - Wow! ArtsPleasure 2017 will go down in the books as a great celebration. I have no clue about money raised, but the event was well attended starting with Stomp after school 'til we locked the doors after 8:00. The Arts Team would like to thank all of your for your support. I am afraid I might miss someone if we started typing names, so we extend a huge hug and gratitude to all. Thanks for donations of time, energy, and support. We could not carry out such a successful event without your support.
It is great to work at a place where the Arts are a strong and vibrant part of the culture!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
