Important Back to School Information
WSE ~ SAFE AND RESPECTFUL SCHOOL At WSE, we commit to providing our students and staff with a safe, respectful and loving environment focused upon our three goals: whole child, student-centered and engage community. To that end, our students and families are essential as partners to ensure our learning community is safe and respectful for all. Throughout the year, students will be engaged in classroom and counselor lessons on various topics including bullying. If bullying occurs, students must report it immediately to allow staff members to act in a swift manner for resolution. Below is a direct link to report bullying at WSE. We encourage parents and guardians to discuss bullying reporting modes with their children. Bullying Reporting Link

Parents interested in serving on the task force are encouraged to complete an application by Sept. 6. Appointments to the task force will be chosen by lottery and will ensure representation from all nine middle schools.
