Hello WCPS Families,

I want to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude for our faculty and staff members' unwavering dedication and commitment to our students. The months of planning and preparation led to arguably our best start in my tenure and I could not be more proud of TEAM WCPS. Our collaborative efforts in establishing effective structures and routines have positioned us to have the best year possible as we continuously monitor student progress with a focus on high academic achievement and leadership development through a more personalized approach. 

I also want to thank our parents and guardians for entrusting us to educate your child(ren) as we continue our district-wide focus on developing the next generation of leaders and innovators.  Public education is the greatest equalizer for our students and we are proud to provide diverse learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom, offering students the chance to grow socially, emotionally and academically. 

I also want to assure our parent/guardian community of our district’s unwavering commitment to the continued professional development of our faculty and staff. In our large district, we provide unmatched opportunities for our faculty and staff to grow their capacity to provide a world-class education to your children with an intentional focus on providing engaging learning opportunities in a safe environment where the students are the primary focus every minute of every day. In fact, we just had a group of educators return from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), where they learned about computer science, engineering and robotics as they grow their instructional skills to best prepare our students with 21st-century technical skills in a globally connected world. This is just one example of the many experiences we provide our educators as we work together to continuously raise our academic expectations aligned with workforce development needs and emerging career pathways. 

As we enter into the early fall, I wish you and your families the best as we look forward to a school year filled with tremendous growth and engaging learning opportunities. 

Respectfully,

Rob Clayton

Superintendent
