My son is in second grade. The child doesn’t understand what school is outside of Covid. Kindergarten abruptly stopped for two weeks, which turned into not returning. First grade was a hodge podge of virtual here, in person there, back to virtual. That being said, he has still had a wonderful experience at WES - in my opinion, the best one could have given the circumstances. Mr. Zellmer, the principal, greets the children outside every morning at carpool. He is always so kind, and it is so reassuring to see that in a principal. I recall that he used to be a kindergarten teacher, and I think that instilled a lot of the values he possesses that makes him such a successful principal. I had concerns about the time children were allotted to eat at lunch a couple of years ago, and he handled it promptly. I have no doubt that he cares for each and every child. My child’s teachers have all been amazing too, and each year, I have felt blessed because his teachers have gone above and beyond, truly cared for the students, and communicated with me about any concerns, etc.

Very nice school, the teachers treat me with respect and discipline, and are always nice. The lunches are great, and the teaching isn’t boring. The tests are hard but doable. (Also I just like the schools look) there also very good with bullying too, I almost never see any of that in my grade, it probably still happens but there able to take care of it so it disappears to a naked eye. (Still they need to do better.)
