Superintendent's Monthly Update: October 2026

WW-P Schools

September 29, 2026

Fall offers WW-P families many opportunities to get a glimpse into your child’s school day. From the elementary and middle school parent-teacher conferences and Back to School Night events that were held over the last two months to the upcoming observance of American Education Week, WW-P staff strive to achieve a home and school connection to help support our students’ success. American Education Week (Nov. 16-20, 2026) is an annual celebration across the country that promotes the collaboration between parents/caregivers and educators. As is WW-P tradition, our elementary and middle schools will invite parents/caregivers into their child(ren)’s classrooms for an opportunity to experience a typical day at school. Please keep an eye out for an email from your child(ren)’s teachers and/or school with additional details and how to register.
