Our Wildcats are doing some awesome things today!

Our students are learning in so many different ways! Some of our Wildcats are working together in groups and with partners, while others are building their skills independently. And in some classrooms, students are getting an up-close look at the life cycle of baby chicks! 🐣

So much learning, collaboration, and hands-on exploration happening at WCES today!

Way to go, Wildcats! Keep showing that Paw PRIDE every day! 💜💛

🛑 STOP Means STOP 🛑

Keeping our students safe is everyone’s responsibility. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, drivers must STOP and stay stopped.

Passing a stopped school bus isn’t just dangerous—it’s against the law and can have life-changing consequences. A few extra seconds of patience can protect a child’s life.

🚌 See the lights. See the stop arm. STOP.
❤️ Kids ride. Communities thrive.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this important reminder with friends, family, and fellow drivers.

Ms. Gentry’s Kindergarten Wildcats are discovering that numbers can be made in so many different ways!

Today, students explored different ways to show these numbers. For example, 4 can be shown with 4 fingers on one hand—or 2 fingers on each hand!

Hands-on learning makes math fun while helping our Wildcats build number sense and understand that there’s more than one way to represent a number!

That’s Paw PRIDE in action! 🐾💜💛

Ms. Oldson is working on dictation with our 2nd Grade Wildcats! Students first wrote the sentence independently, giving them an opportunity to apply their phonics and writing skills. Then, Ms. Oldson modeled the sentence for students so they could compare their work, make corrections, and strengthen their understanding.

We love seeing our Wildcats actively engaged in their learning and building confidence as writers! 💜💛🐾

Today during Wildcat PRIDE Academy, our students took ownership of creating a positive classroom environment! After reviewing our schoolwide expectations last week, students worked together today to develop classroom rules that reflect our Wildcat PRIDE values.

We love seeing our Wildcats take responsibility, share their ideas, and help create classrooms where everyone can P—Practice Respect, R—Responsibility, I—Integrity, D—Determination, and E—Excellence! 💜💛🐾
