Great things are happening at WCS!
This week one of our Life Skills classrooms took a field trip to the Rocky Ridge Apple Orchard. Students learned about the process of running an orchard and had a chance to pick apples and try freshly baked cider donuts! What a week for a true Maine treat!
CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS!
INFINITE CAMPUS PARENT PORTAL APP
Portal Parent, Campus Portal, Infinite Parent ...You know it, we love it. The app pictured here (called, "Campus Parent" on the app store) will link you right into Infinite Campus, the program that families use to do the annual update and retrieve their passwords for school photos. The app is a one-stop spot to see all of your students' information, even if you have multiple children at different schools in the district. You can see grades, missed assignments and attendance, as well as elect to receive notifications. You can even use it to submit your annual update if you haven't done it yet. (hint, hint!)

CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY

MAINE WILD SEEDS PROJECT
STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM
SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
- We are still collecting donations for the Bath Area Food Bank. They let us know that their three most needed items are, crackers, granola bars & canned baked beans. Each floor had been gathering these items (Pre-K through 2 are collecting crackers, grades 3-5 are collecting granola bars, and middle school is collecting baked beans.) The floor that gathers the most items will win music during their lunch!
- Mark your calendars!! WCS will be celebrating Spirit Week from 10/16 - 10/20. Look for the theme of each day in next week's newsletter!
This is the place to get all your WCS-branded clothing and accessories.
