Parental Participation


We believe God has charged parents with the primary responsibility for the training of their child. You have chosen us to partner with you in the education of your child and we count it a privilege to do so. We take this responsibility seriously and desire the same level of support from you. Your support is essential to the success of our school and vital for your child’s self-esteem. Active parent participation is essential. Working with your child’s teacher is one of the first steps in helping your child achieve academic success.

Parents are an important part of our program. We believe that a child’s growth is fostered through a cooperative effort by the teacher and the parent. The school promotes this relationship through open communication including daily notes, weekly newsletters, all-school correspondence and conferences. We welcome parental support, ideas and suggestions.

Parents are a valued component of our program.  There are numerous ways for you to be involved with WCPS and your child’s educational experiences.  Please talk with your child’s teacher, committee members and/or the director.  For additional information, go to the Volunteer Opportunities section of our web page.

Knowing that WCPS parents feel that there is nothing more important than their child’s education, we encourage our parents to be involved with the preschool. Parents are asked to contribute items for holiday parties and to help with school events. Parents of children in the 4 and 5-year-old programs are asked to give of their time for special events and driving on field trips.

Families are encouraged to attend school events such as Carnival in the fall and the Auction in the spring. These events promote camaraderie among school families and provide children with special memories of school. (The alumni/ae can’t wait to come back with their younger siblings to these events each year!)  Additionally, the money raised through these events is the major means for enhancing and upgrading the WCPS facilities.

All parents are encouraged to visit in their child’s class during the year. If you have talents you would like to share with your child’s class, please let us know and we will find an appropriate time to work it into the curriculum.
