2025-26 Homeroom Placement 

As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, we would like to share some important information about how class lists are created. 

Class placement is a thoughtful and ongoing process that involves collaboration among our teaching staff and administration. Our teachers use their in-depth knowledge of students’ academic, social, and emotional needs to build well-balanced classes that support the success of all learners. Many factors are considered, including: 

  

  1. Learning styles 
  2. Individual strengths 
  3. Peer dynamics 
  4. Overall class composition 

Because of the complexity and care involved in this process, we are unable to accommodate specific requests for teachers, classmates, or classroom placements. We appreciate your understanding and trust in our professional judgment. 

Class lists will be finalized over the summer, and you will find out your child’s placement when school begins in the fall. 

Outbreak Status 

 AHS has lifted our outbreak status.  We resumed business as usual Wednesday at 9am on the 14th. 

WSS Lost and Found 

Our lost and found will be donated next Friday, May 23rd.  Please come by and have a look for your child’s lost items!

Planning for Next Year – Volunteer Opportunity 

We’re looking for one or two enthusiastic individuals to take on the role of Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch Coordinator(s) for the 2025–26 school year! 

What’s involved? 

  • About 2 hours of setup time at the start of the year (to set up vendors in the Healthy Hunger System and create a SignUpGenius for volunteer support) 
  • On Fun Lunch days, volunteers help out for around 2 hours to ensure everything runs smoothly. 

Past coordinators are happy to provide guidance and answer any questions to ensure a smooth transition into the role. It’s a great way to contribute and help make lunchtime extra special for our students! 

Interested? Please reach out to us at contact.wssda@gmail.com.
