"Learning is treasure that will follow its owner everywhere." - Chinese Proverb Wishing all of our students, teachers, staff, and parents/guardians a WONDERFUL school year!

Here are some of the places you visited this summer! And photos of some of the smiling faces that have been missed around the school buildings! Only one more sleep.... We can't wait to see you!!!

Dear WTPS Community, As we stand on the threshold of a new school year, I am filled with excitement and optimism for our journey ahead. Whether you are returning to our schools or joining us for the first time, I welcome each of you—students, families, teachers, staff, and community members. Together, we are a strong and vibrant community committed to the success of every student. This year, we will continue to foster an environment where every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired. Our dedicated staff has been working tirelessly to prepare our schools for another year of growth, learning, and discovery. We are also excited to introduce several new initiatives this year, including a new learning management system for our high school students, significant security and technology upgrades, parent outreach programs, and a variety of facility enhancements at each of our schools. We will also continue to build upon our Profile of a Graduate project (Click here to view: bit.ly/4eaitmS). These efforts represent our ongoing commitment to providing a well-rounded, high-quality education that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future. As we embark on this new academic year, please stay engaged and connected with our schools. Your involvement is key to the success of our students and our district. Whether through volunteering, attending school events, or simply staying informed, your participation makes a difference. In closing, I want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, and achievement! Warm regards, Mark Toback Superintendent of Schools bit.ly/3TfNttE
