Calling all parents and guardians of future kindergartners! Please save the date and join your neighborhood WESD school for their Kindergarten Open House event on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. This will be a great opportunity for you and your child to learn about the WESD kindergarten program, meet dedicated teachers, explore engaging classrooms, receive important information about our childcare program (KidSpace), transportation services and school meals, and so much more.

If you know someone who also has a child turning five before Sept. 1, 2025, we encourage you to share this exciting opportunity with them, as well. We look forward to meeting the future class of 2038!

Congratulations to our amazing librarian Ms. Driver for winning this years Fiesta Bowl grant!

Congratulations to Shannon Driver, library media specialist at John Jacobs Elementary, who was selected as a grant recipient of the Palo Verde Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program! Shannon will use the grant to transform a corner of the library into an engaging movie section, which will include a diverse selection of books that have inspired beloved films and whimsical decorations such as vintage movie reels, eye-catching film strips, and playful popcorn buckets to ignite the imagination of all who enter. She will also use the funds to create an Arizona sports section featuring both professional and college teams, which will incorporate not only books but also highlights of local sports heroes and their remarkable journeys. Way to go, Shannon!
