We eagerly anticipate Riverside Middle School students coming to WPS. They will share the Chinese New Year Dragon which they are creating. We have been learning about China in all the Resource Classes! Our “Talent Show” will be on the night of the February 20th PTA.
From the School Nurse's Desk
Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.
Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
The Friendly Dental Van will be returning to WPS on Wednesday February 14, 2024. This visit will be to complete care on those students that required more treatment as well as to provide the initial treatment to those students that registered and have not been seen.
