West Point Public Schools - Innovation, Relationships, Excellence

August is Get Ready for Kindergarten Month! With the first day of school coming up on August 18, now is a great time to help our youngest learners feel confident and excited for their big transition. 🎒

Over the next couple weeks, we encourage families to:

➡️ Practice morning and bedtime routines
➡️ Read together daily
➡️ Talk about what to expect in kindergarten
➡️ Build social skills through play and conversation

Together, we’re helping our students feel safe, ready, and “Pointed in the Right Direction!”

August is National Immunization Awareness Month. 🩺

It's a good time to check with your healthcare provider and ensure your child’s vaccines are up to date before school starts. Find additional information at https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/requirements/.

Friendships foster belonging, support, and joy. On International Day of Friendship, let’s celebrate the smiles, laughter, and shared moments that make WPPS feel like home. ✨
