Let's paint Pirate country red and black on Friday! Show your school and community pride by wearing your favorite Pirate shirt. Don't have a Pirate shirt? No problem! Just wear something in red and black, the school colors! We are encouraging students and staff to do the same. Spread the word. Spread the Pirate Pride.
Being a leader and representing your class are among the qualifications for joining the WC Elementary Youth Leadership Board. This group of students began the process by giving speeches to their classmates about how they would represent the class on the board. Congratulations to Killian, who will be representing Mrs. Shoenleben’s class!
What happens when a student tells his teacher that he loves the police and wants his own badge? She makes one for him! Just another example of West Carrollton educators going above and beyond for their students!!
September dates to know: There will be no school on Monday, September 7, for Labor Day and no school on Friday, September 18, for QPT Day.
Just a heads-up that West Carrollton Elementary School has OFFICIALLY kicked off our Fall Mumkin fundraiser! We’ve partnered with the best grower in Ohio for plants this year...Foertmeyer and Sons Greenhouse! Check your email for your students fundraiser link and start raising today to SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL!
There's a song about the wheels on the bus going round and round, but at WC Elementary, the wheels are meant to be eaten! Students used their senses to describe the ingredients needed to build the bus, including graham crackers and frosting. Students also used counting skills to determine how many of each item they would need. What a sweet lesson!
We will provide school schedule updates as we learn them. In the meantime, if you need to drive in the area today, use caution.
It was a special morning. WC Elementary students were greeted by our own Pirate Pete!
The first days of school can be stressful for students, parents/guardians, and our staff. We are here to help you, and we appreciate your kindness and patience during this time.
We are always overwhelmed with phone calls during the first days of school. If we don’t answer your call, we are speaking with another caller. Please leave a message with your name, phone number, and the reason for your call. We will call you back as soon as possible.
Bus stop pick-up and drop-off times may be delayed during the first days of school. Many of our students are riding the bus for the first time and are adjusting to a new routine. Our drivers want to make sure every child gets to and from school safely.
If you are transporting your child to/from school, allow yourself extra time. Traffic is usually congested around the schools during the first days as everyone adjusts to the traffic pattern and students adjust to the routine. Stay in the pick-up/drop-off lane, drive slowly, and watch for students.
We want every student to have a safe and positive experience, and we thank you for your help.
The Pirates are coming back to school, and we need your help! Please be patient when driving around schools. Traffic is usually congested during the first days as everyone adjusts to student drop-off and pick-up traffic patterns at the schools. Remember that the speed limit is 20 MPH in school zones. Watch for children when driving in your neighborhood as they walk to and from bus stops and schools. Always stop when red lights are flashing on a school bus. Thank you for helping the Pirates have a safe start to the school year!
It's almost time! Join us on Monday, August 10, at 5 p.m. for the Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for the new West Carrollton Middle/High School! The ceremony will be followed by an opportunity to tour the building!

Cleaning is happening at West Carrollton Elementary, and the custodians are all wearing Pirate shirts!

Oh no! Mrs. Fee can't get out of her chair, but not to worry. It was one of the fun activities happening during the last days of school. Mrs. Fee's class received the most donations for the Fun Run Fundraiser among the second-grade classes, and she allowed her students to vote on a couple of potential rewards. Taping Mrs. Fee to her chair was the winner! Congratulations to the class! Now, please untape your teacher!
