The WES PTO is offering School Supply Kits to purchase for the 2026-27 school year. Each kit contains the necessary supplies for your child’s classroom/grade level and will be waiting in their classroom on the first day of school. This is a fundraiser, so you can save a trip to the store and support the PTO at the same time! Please visit www.shopttkits.com and enter Account #63741 for more information and to place your order. Orders are due by Friday, June 19th. Please contact Sarah Ponzio with any questions.

Student Directory Artwork

Rising K-5 students are invited to submit artwork to be featured in the 2026-27 WES Student Directory, highlighting next year's theme - Light the Way! Student artwork will be included throughout the pages, with an entry by a rising 5th grader selected for the front cover. For more details, please see the artwork submission form here. Artwork forms can be dropped off in the office at WES, or scanned and submitted to Christine Greco by Friday, August 28th. Let your creativity shine in next year's Student Directory!

If you are interested in being a Homeroom Parent for your child’s class next year, please fill out the following form: Homeroom Parent Volunteer Form. Most of our volunteers sign up before the end of the school year to be added to the list for the following fall. Once your child is assigned a teacher, you will be contacted at the start of the school year if you are matched as a HR Parent. All HR Parents must have up-to-date clearances. Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

Sponsor a Directory Heart

The 2026-2027 WES Student Directory will feature a We Love WES page filled with sponsored hearts! Support the WES PTO by purchasing a heart here by Friday, September 4th. All proceeds will help to fund PTO provided opportunities for our students and teachers!

If you are interested in promoting your local business to the community, while also directly supporting the WES PTO, please consider placing a tax-deductible advertisement in the 2026-27 WES Student Directory! You can find more details and pricing here and ads should be submitted by Friday, August 21st to guarantee placement. Ads can be purchased online here. Thank you for your consideration and support of the WES PTO! Please contact Christine Greco with any questions.
