When researching and determining whether WSTEM is a good fit for your child, you should also make sure it is a good fit for the family as a whole. The benefits of an education from WSTEM are a direct result of both student and parent involvement. As a parent it is important to understand that, in our environment, involvement in the school governing board, its committees and/or the educational activities inside and outside the classroom will only further enhance your child’s education.

We understand that choosing an elementary school for your child is a very important decision. We hope that you like what you see here and encourage you to attend one of our open houses or schedule a meeting with the principal to learn more about how WSTEM can enrich your entire family’s experience!
