On Friday, February 21, students will spend only the afternoon at WCDS Middle School and will need to be picked up from our campus in Wheeling Park. Drop off will be normal time on main campus in our 5th grade classroom. We will have a full morning of core classes, and then spend recess time transporting the 5th grade to Wheeling Park in the van. We will have lunch with the middle school and then join them for ice skating in the afternoon! Students may bring their own skates. You are to pick up your child at the middle school beginning at 2:45 pm.
Middle School Mythology Exhibition! Join our middle school students at our Wheeling Park campus on February 19th at 5:00 for their exhibition showcasing their mythology deep dive. Our middle school students have been hard at work exploring myths from around the world, and we’d love for you to walk through their projects and see their work firsthand.
