Homecoming Week Recap
Homecoming week was a ton of fun for our students, and it was only possible with the careful planning and preparation of our DeSales ASB, assisted by Mr. Rohde! We also want to say a special thank you to àMaurice Vineyards for generously providing their facility for the Homecoming dance on Saturday.
The week was filled with dress-up days, decorations, and fun activities for the kids. The kids had a blast, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen! To see pictures taken throughout the week, be sure to check out our WWCS Facebook and Instagram pages.

Outstanding Fees for Scrip
If you received a letter this past summer regarding an outstanding fee due for un-purchased scrip from last school year, and you haven’t yet paid that fee, the fee will now be posted to your FACTS account and apportioned to all remaining payments. If you have questions about this, please contact our WWCS business office.
Surplus Technology For Sale
Every couple of years, it is necessary to replace and update the various tech devices that the schools provide for students and teachers. When that happens, we are able to offer those leftover devices for sale to the community. That means laptops, desktops, iPads, Chromebooks, routers, and more are available at an extreme discount! Please note that all orders must be paid for in cash or with a check. Checks can made out to "WWCS".
If you would like to see what all is available for purchase, as well as the condition and price of each item, click the button below!
To make an order, email Daren Welser, our Director of Technology.
