Dear Walla Walla Catholic School Families,
We are already into the second week of the 2021-22 school year! We had a great turnout at the WWCS Pool Party last Friday, and we are looking forward to our first football game of the season tomorrow at 7:00 PM! This first game is in Odessa, so if you aren't able to be present in person, remember to tune into the game on the radio! Learn more about the radio broadcast below.
Assumption parents: Remember that tomorrow, September 3, is Western Dress Day! Assumption students may wear any western-themed wear, including jeans. If preferred, students also have the option to wear their regular school uniform on Friday as well.
If you haven't been to visit the WWCS food booth at the fair yet, make sure you go soon! You won't want to miss out those tasty burgers and salads! If you want to help out at the food booth this week, click here!
Thank you for your continued fellowship and support as members of this Catholic school community!
Updated Dress Code for 2021-22
We have been working to update our dress code at both Assumption and DeSales to improve clarity for our students and parents. The changes this year have been minor, but they are important. Please take a few moments to review the dress code by clicking the corresponding button below.
Please also note that the online store to order official Assumption quarter zips and sweatshirts will be opening soon. Look for that link sometime next week!
Back To School Nights
The next Back to School Night will be for the Kindergarten class at Assumption. Please gather in the Kindergarten classroom on Tuesday, September 7 at 6:30 PM.
The Back to School Night for Grades 7-12 will be on Monday, September 13 at 7:00 PM, located at DeSales. Remember that we will be having a special meeting for parents of seniors directly following this event, so please plan on staying for that meeting.
Tune in to Irish Radio!
Irish football on KHSS2 94.1 Classic FM
It's football season, and you don't want to miss a minute of our DeSales student athletes in action! Our first game is tomorrow night at 7:00 PM in Odessa. If you can't make the game in person, be sure to tune in on the radio! In the past, Irish athletics have been on 100.7 FM KHSS. However, the frequency has changed this year. Instead, you can hear Irish Radio on KHSS2 94.1 Classic FM!
If you are outside of the listening area, you can always catch the game by listening over the internet instead! To listen to 94.1 FM over the internet, click on the button below, and then click "Irish Radio"!
If you ever miss a game, or just want to experience some nostalgia, you can always go back and listen to previous games in the archive!
WWCS Fair Booth
In order for the WWCS Fair Booth to succeed, we need volunteers! We especially need additional help on Saturday, September 4. If you haven't worked at the fair before, it is an awesome way to meet other members of our WWCS community while having fun and preparing some incredible food. If you are interested in helping out at the fair, please click the button below to sign up!
