No Dogs on Campus
Please do not bring your dogs to campus at ANYTIME — including after-school sports teams/clubs using the WES field, weekends and summer break. This is a school policy and large signs are posted at the entrances to campus. We have had a significant problem with dog waste on our fields and campus. It is also important to provide a clean and safe environment for our students, especially those with allergies and animal fears. Please use our beautiful Woodside trails to walk your dogs. More information HERE. 

No E-Bikes & E-Scooters On Campus
This is a reminder that e-bikes, e-scooters or any electric vehicles are NOT allowed on the school campus AT ANY TIME. Have questions? We encourage families to attend the  WES Admin Talks on Tuesday, Sept. 2 evening at 6pm in the school library regarding E-bike education and safety. Info HERE.
