We couldn’t do this without YOU — thank you for being a piece of the pie that makes us WESD! 🥧🧡🦃

🦃 Don’t Let Stress Gobble You Up! 🦃

The holiday season is full of joy and gratitude — but it can also bring extra stress. Between family gatherings, finances, and busy schedules, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed. 💛

Remember: Even if you have a lot to be thankful for, life happens — and it’s OK to ask for help.

✨ Counseling & emotional support
✨ Help with family or relationship matters
✨ Guidance on general health and wellness
✨ Financial tools & resources, and more

If you don’t need support right now, take a moment to download the AllOne App and save this number in your contacts:

That way, it’s there for you — or a co-worker — whenever it’s needed.

This season, be kind to yourself. You deserve care, too. 🍂❤️

Thank you Veterans for your service

Attention, ! 📣

This is a friendly reminder that there will be no school on Monday, Nov. 10, and Tuesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day. The WESD Administrative Center will also be closed both days.

School and regular office hours will resume on Wednesday, Nov. 12.

We hope you have a safe, healthy and meaningful long weekend!

🇺🇸Thank You, Veterans! 🇺🇸

This special moment was captured at the Sahuaro Elementary School Veterans Day Celebration.

Veterans, we want you to know — red, white, and blue would be nothing without you.

We are deeply grateful for your service and sacrifice. ❤️🤍💙

A special thank-you to our schools for instilling gratitude in our students and teaching the importance of honoring our veterans every day.

Who’s Who Wednesday 💫

Meet our amazing Office Specialist, Maria!

Maria is the warm smile you see when you walk into the District Office and the cheerful voice you hear when you give us a call. She prides herself on providing excellent customer service and making sure you’re quickly connected with the person who can best help you.
