Anpetu Waste! We hope everyone is in good health and spirits. We want to welcome everyone back to our 2022-23 school year. We would like to THANK our community for their support and patience as we maneuver through this unprecedented time.
All signs point to another incredible and productive school year. Our skilled and devoted staff is already planning and preparing for your child(ren)s online learning. Our enthusiastic office team is registering new families, ordering needed materials and updating student files. Our hard working and conscientious custodians have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning the facility and sterilizing daily.
Careful consideration was given to input from staff and families as well as how Wolf Creek School will move forward with instruction. Classrooms have been balanced academically and socially. Our class lists are structured to provide equitable class sizes at each grade level. Moving students is difficult without causing imbalances and inequities. This is done to ensure every student will benefit to the fullest.
ALL of our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. Thank you to all who are helping prepare for the new school year. Your commitment to ensuring that Wolf Creek remains a celebrated and successful school is awe-inspiring. We eagerly look forward to greeting students and families again.
School will begin, Monday August 22, 2022. Additional information will be sent out on a regular basis so please contact the school with any update contact information.
