  • Questions?

We hate that we weren’t able to have a typical kindergarten screening.  Thank you for your patience as we have adjusted to the needs of our current situation.  We are excited to bring your students into our WBE family.  We recognize that some students and parents will have anxious feelings in this transition.  Please never hesitate in reaching out to any of the wonderful staff here.  We will do everything possible to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.
