Welcome to Westerly Creek Elementary School

Congratulations to our Mile High Teachers:

Ms. Kira Seoane & Ms. Jennifer Grant!!

We at Westerly Creek are so fortunate and grateful for our 2012 Mile High Teachers Awards winners! They were each honored in a ceremony held May 2nd, 2012 at Mile High Stadium. But maybe even more exciting for them, Ms. S and Ms. Grant were additionally honored with a thoughtful and awesome WCE Mile High Teachers video illustrating their impact on their students and their families! Please enjoy and pass it on!

K-2nd Grade Students: Report to the GYM, which will be supervised by Katie Brown and other staff.

3-5th Grade Students: Report to the LIBRARY, which will be supervised by Jay Ballenberger and other staff
Regardless of whether we are having an Inside or Outside day, students need to dress appropriately (e.g., coats, boots, mittens, hats, etc.). Students still need to be protected for the journey to/from home/school, as well as the playground, if the weather improves.

Parents of students who come to school unprepared for the weather will be contacted to determine whether the child needs additional clothing delivered from home or requires a donation from the WCE Coat Room.

RECESS
Inside days mean inside recess. Staff are assigned to supervise students in a variety of rooms. Please see the main office if you are looking for your child during recess.

DISMISSAL
Students who take the bus, attend Kaleidoscope or My Enrichment programs and/or need to pick up a younger sibling will follow the same protocol – dismissal at 3:40 pm.  ECE students protocol is also the same; ECE students are available for pick-up in their classrooms at 3:40 pm.

All other students who are usually picked up by parents/guardians on the blacktop will be picked up in their youngest child’s classroom at 3:45pm. Students who are not picked up by 4:00pm will be brought to the main office to wait for their parents.
