A Footwear Reminder from your School Nurses:

If possible, we are asking our WPS families to please send some type of athletic or closed-toe shoe with children for recess/gym. Although slides and flip-flops are popular footwear for students, we are seeing an increase in serious injuries, including broken bones and severe sprains during physical activity. We appreciate your support as we strive to protect our students’ health and safety!
