Dear Walla Walla Catholic School Families,
We are so excited to see all of our students on Monday for the first day of school! Remember that tomorrow, Friday, August 20, our teachers will be in their classrooms from 1:00-2:30 PM if any parents or students would like to visit.
The first virtue of the month, and guiding virtue for the year, is the virtue of Hope. We at the WWCS are committed to doing whatever is necessary to ensure that full-time, in-person instruction is available for our students, while also providing a healthy and safe environment for everyone. Your cooperation in this effort is absolutely vital, and very much appreciated. Our hope in Christ, hope in our community, and hope in our mission drives everything that we do. Thank you for being a part of this incredible and supportive school community! We can't wait to get started with the 2021-22 school year!
On the first day of school (Monday, August 23):
- For DeSales students, please be sure to show up between 7:30-7:45 AM so that all students have the opportunity to receive their class schedules and other orientation materials before the school day begins.
- For Assumption students, please plan to have students in their respective classrooms between 7:45-8:05 AM. Parents are welcome to walk students to their classrooms.
Regarding School Lunches
At this time, there will be no hot lunch opportunities provided for our students. We are looking into the possibility of providing hot lunches after Labor Day, but until then only cold lunches will be allowed. Stay tuned for updated information about hot lunches soon!
