CAFETERIA/CAMPUS SURVEY

We would love your input on this very short survey about our cafeteria and campus. Your feedback is important to us. In fact, last year, we purchased some new equipment as a direct result of the responses from this survey.

GRADUATION

The graduating class of 2019 invites you to celebrate WYIS Graduation 2019 with us.

The graduation ceremony will be on Thursday, June 6, at 5pm.

Join us in celebrating these graduates and their families. Tickets are not required, and all are welcome.

LIBRARY ANNOUNCEMENTS

We will have summer checkouts available this year for grades 4 and above. If students have re-enrolled for next year, they may check out for the summer on Thursday, June 6. Below are additional details about this trial summer library program:

  • The summer checkout due date will be Wednesday, August 14.
  • If students have not re-enrolled, even if they plan to attend next year, they will not be able to check out books over the summer.
  • If a student has re-enrolled, but circumstances change during the summer and they can no longer return in August, they must return their library books anyway, or pay for their replacement.
  • Parents of re-enrolled students may also check out books over the summer.
  • The library will be open every Wednesday during the summer from 10-12, and 12:30-2, in case people would like to check in their summer books and check out new ones.

HAVE YOU LOST SOMETHING AT SCHOOL?

If so, it may be in our Lost & Found. All Lost & Found items are now on tables at the entrnace to the Athletics Building.

We have LOTS of hoodies and other clothing, as well as water bottles and other random items. If you see something that belongs to you or your child, please come take it. The Lost & Found tables will be available to you through the last day of school. Come get your items... before they're gone.

AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES UPDATE

Here’s a quick update on 2018-2019 after-school activities. This year we had 20 after-school activities, which provided multiple clubs for almost every grade!

If you led or assisted with an after-school activity this school year, thank you so much for investing in our students. We know that it takes time and energy and can be challenging, but we hope it was rewarding as rewarding for you as it was for the students involved.

Here is a list of the after-school activities offered in 2018/2019: Badminton, Beginner's 3D Animation, Board Games, Chinese Calligraphy, CrossFit Kids (multiple gradelevels offered), EC4-5 Clay Club, Grade 5 Band, Harry Potter Club, HS Drama, HS Newspaper, HS Robotics, Minecraft, MS Band, Recycling Club, Soccer, Table Tennis, Wuhan Troupe

We're already planning for 2019/2020. If you'd like to be involved, please email aaron.householder@wyischina.com.
