WPS & JIS*** Parents, during morning drop off and after school dismissal, help us keep ALL students safe. Please slow down in ALL school zones and follow the traffic signs. WPS, the North doors are for students and staff to enter only. If you need to bring your child in personally, please enter through the front doors and check in with the office. At Parent drop off/pick-up, please have your child exit/enter through the passenger side door; we do not want them going in between cars. Your child's safety is our biggest concern.

In an effort to improve communication from the school district, we are using a new tool called Rooms which is part of the app. Parents/Guardians can use Rooms to message teachers all in one location for all of your students' classes, regardless of grade level or content area. If you have trouble connecting to Rooms, please contact either Mara Romero at 719-254-7669 or Tami Thomas at 719-254-7423.
