Kindergarten Screener
To best place students into Kindergarten, it is recommended that you bring your child to the screener on Wednesday, July 30th, from 3:30-6:30. Click here to sign up!
For those students who were in PK last year at WCE, we have the information we need for your child’s academic placement this year. You will not need to have your child attend the screener.

Students use Clever to access Schoology, Office 365, and other links for students. For online textbooks, students in grades K-5 use Clever.
