Walker’s Attendance Palooza was held on Tuesday to celebrate our Attendance Heroes — students who were Here Everyday, Ready, and On-time!

Students enjoyed a morning full of carnival-style games, fun activities, and lots of smiles as a reward for their outstanding attendance and commitment to learning. We are so proud of our Attendance Heroes and all of their hard work this school year!

🧥👕 LOST & FOUND OVERFLOW! 👟🧢

Our Lost & Found is bursting with jackets, hoodies, lunch boxes, water bottles, and more — and we would love to get these items back to their owners before summer break!

📍 Please stop by the racks in the main entryway before the last day of school next Thursday, June 4. Families are also welcome to browse during our upcoming end-of-year events.

Anything left behind after the last day of school will be donated or discarded.

You might be surprised at what your student is missing! Thank you for helping these items find their way home.

Walker had an amazing turnout Tuesday night as we welcomed new students and their families to our Cookies & Canvas event!

Our instructor guided everyone step-by-step as they painted an adorable chicken masterpiece. It was a wonderful evening filled with creativity, laughter, and new friendships as families had the opportunity to meet others who will also be joining the Walker community this fall.

We are so excited to welcome these new Wildcats to Walker!
