WCA families,


Welcome to the 2024/2025 school year! What a thrill it is to see our families, new and returning, as we all come together for the biggest year WCA has ever seen!


It is my pleasure to greet students' smiling faces each morning. Thank you for trusting us with your greatest treasure; a responsibility that I know each teacher at WCA takes very seriously. As the year moves along, please share with our staff the wonderful stories you hear in the car or around the dinner table. One thing my family practices every night at dinner is asking two questions.


1) What was your favorite part of the day?

2) What are you grateful for?


We can’t wait to celebrate each success with you!


Mr. Deiter

Vice Principal,

Middle School Administrator



Coming soon to a classroom near you!

"God's Creation" STEAM Week


Isn’t it amazing how God created everything from scratch?

In His mighty creation, we see how God turned a world once formless,

empty and dark to all that we have today.


WCA students will explore their God-given ability to make something out of nothing. Through a week of interactive learning experiences, virtual field trips, and problem solving, students will be inspired by God's Creation. 



Volunteer Opportunities Will Be Available Sep 9-13

for STEAM Week, Book Fair, and Grandparents Day.

Information and sign-ups will be available soon.



Plans will be made at the PTF meeting Sep 3.

(Please see PTF information below.)
