Parents
We are proud of our parent participation. Many parents participate daily in various school activities. We encourage parents to volunteer. Under current state law, volunteers are required to have Criminal History Check, Child Abuse, and FBI clearances. A percentage of the cost for clearances (50% for the first 50 parents) will be paid by WPACES with a required commitment of serving 50 hours. Parents wishing to volunteer must contact the school office in advance of their coming to assist. The key to student success is the active participation of parents in the school.
