Dear WSD Families,

As we begin the new school year, we want to share an important update regarding our Parent-Staff Organization (PSO). Due to changes in leadership, the PSO is currently at risk of being dissolved unless we are able to fill two critical board positions: President and Vice President.

The PSO plays a vital role in supporting our school, staff, and—most importantly—our students. From organizing events and fundraisers to enhancing communication and building community, our PSO helps create the vibrant, supportive environment we all value.

We are urgently seeking dedicated and passionate parents, guardians, or staff who are willing to step into these leadership roles. If you have been looking for a way to make a meaningful impact, this is a great opportunity to get involved.

Open Positions:

President
Vice President
No prior experience is required—just a willingness to work collaboratively, share ideas, and help make a difference at WSD.

If you’re interested in learning more or would like to nominate yourself or someone else, please reach out to us by September 23, 2025 by emailing Taylor Mendoza at [email protected]

Let’s work together to keep the PSO strong and active for our students!

*To be eligible, you must be a parent/guardian to a current WSD student or a current staff member. Alumni and former staff/parents/guardians are not eligible per our bylaws.

Hello this is James Forncrook and I’m hosting WSD fireworks sales again this year. All proceeds will help send all sports teams including DAB and other teams to sport deaf events to get their rich deaf social students-athletes environment events. Please come to our WSD fireworks tent and buy our products to support the programs! Thank you!
