Please join us in supporting our community by participating in our Food Drive November 3-7. Non-perishable food items can be brought in by students or dropped off in the main office during school hours. All donations will go to local food pantries.
If you or someone you know is in need of food support, please contact our Communities In Schools Site Coordinator Emily Jenkins at 304-842-0490 or emily.jenkins@k12.wv.us to get connected to resources.

Red Ribbon Week starts tomorrow with a pajama day!

We hope you brace the cold & come see us tonight at our first Trunk or Treat event! All trunks & food trucks will be set up in the back parking lot. Families attending - please park in front and walk to the back. We will see you tonight from 5-7!

Don't forget!

Reminder: There will be no Popcorn Thursday on October 23rd due to early dismissal. Thank you for understanding!
It’s almost time! Just two more days until WTES PTO’s 1st Trunk or Treat! Come out and see the awesome trunks, grab something to eat at one of the food trucks, play a few games, and take some pictures with our photo props! We cannot wait to see you!

Being precise in math means more than just getting the right answer — it’s about using the correct labels, careful calculations, clear explanations, and thoughtful communication. These skills are important not only in the classroom, but in real life too — like during Bridge Day, where safety and accuracy truly matter! Check out this short video focused on attending to precision.

Tomorrow is the last day to turn in any WTES Blanket orders!

Red Ribbon Week is October 24-31!

Mark your calendars for our fall picture day!
