WPA Leadership Program – UPDATE

WPA is receiving a booster-shot in the area of scholar leadership teams.  Having dissolved the original Ambassador Program ~ WPA will be moving into a new direction for our scholar leadership teams.  Looking to involve parents, staff, and scholars, we will be hosting a number of Leadership Teams for scholars in 3-6th.  Our goal is to have a staff and parent volunteer(s) support our leadership teams.  Each team will schedule meetings (monthly or as needed) to work together on their team goals.  Every team will be encouraged to engage in a community project and design their own team logo/slogan/shirt.  Scholars interested in signing up for a WPA Leadership Team should contact the current Staff Lead [below].  Leadership Teams will consist of 6-16 scholars based on the team.  Scholar participation remains a privilege and is contingent primarily on Leadership Behavior at WPA ~ including hallways, classroom, lunch, and recess.

Don’t see a Leadership Team you are interested in?  Speak with your parents about volunteering to set up a new WPA Leadership Team.  Contact Dr. Forgette with interest and ideas!

*Scholars previously identified as Ambassadors will be contacted by Ms. Gore and Ms. Duncan regarding membership interest for new teams.

Leadership Special Ops will perform daily tasks of car duty and lunch duty. Car duty will consist of both morning and afternoon times.  Arrival time for morning car duty will be at 7:30 A.M., and afternoon car duty will be from 3:25 P.M.-4:00 P.M.  Lunch duty will start everyday at 11:45 A.M. and ending at 12:30 P.M. 

• Car Duty- Greeting and holding doors open for scholars and guests as they arrive to school, door holders for each cottage, one (1) team member to each Zone, one (1) Crosswalk, and two (2) Runners. 
• Lunch Duty- Two (2) leaders will rotate daily to assist in delivering lunch to all of the classrooms.
