School Communications
Staying informed has never been easier.
Take advantage of a myriad of communications designed to help busy families stay on top of all that’s happening at WC.
facts
FACTS is your school connection and is used by teachers for academic purposes. You can see homework assignments, view classroom newsletters, keep tabs on your child’s grades, print necessary forms, and have access to the school family directory. You can also put money on your student’s lunch account, pay for field trips, as well as pay tuition. FACTS also offers an app for your smartphone or tablet. Visit the app store on your device to download.
Social Media
WC uses social media to post sports scores, share pictures, and video, and so much more. We host All-School, Athletic, and Alumni accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. WC can also be found on LinkedIn and YouTube. We host a private parent group on Facebook for parents to share ideas, collaborate, and more. Before access to the group is granted, you will be asked to answer one question.
You don’t have to create personal social media accounts to view announcements, photos, and videos, both live and pre-recorded, posted to WC’s social media accounts. Here’s how.
Text Alerts
This notification system is used to contact subscribers in the event of an emergency (e.g. fire, lockdown, etc.), school closings, and delays due do to inclement weather. We recommend all WC families and students subscribe. We promise not to flood your phone with text messages.
