Our Mission is Fishin’ 

WLS Informational Meeting – The parent informational meeting, held this past Monday, went very well!  Many thanks go out to the staff for all of their time and effort in putting together plans for next year.  The staff showed motivation and excitement to move into our new educational structure.  Tentative teaching schedules were handed out to the parents and many specific questions were answered. If you missed the meeting and would like a copy of those tentative plans, stop in the school office to pick a set up. If you have any other questions about how next year will run, you can call or email Ruth Schroeder, who will serve as Lead Teacher next year. Mrs. Schroeder’s email address is schroe6@aol.com.
