Vaping can have long-term consequences on your health, from weakened immunity to chronic respiratory issues. Stay vape free and prioritize your long-term health!

Let’s work together to promote health, wellness, and fitness. Whether it’s healthy snacks, spending time outdoors, or staying active as a family, small changes lead to big results!
Every day matters! This is especially true regarding students’ grades and overall academic performance.
Students who maintain consistent attendance are more likely to earn higher test scores and stay on track academically. Make being here every day a top priority!
Due to the impending snow, all after-school activities scheduled for today are canceled. All weekend activities are canceled, and our school buildings will remain closed over the weekend.

Snow or Sunshine? Let’s Be Prepared for Monday, January 6th!
There is a chance Mother Nature may sprinkle a little winter magic on Monday.
We will notify you about any schedule changes as early as possible via phone, email, and social media.
Happy New Year to our West Point Public Schools community!
As we step into the first few days of this bright new year, we're filled with excitement for all the learning, growth, and achievements that await our students. Thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, dedicated parents, and incredible students who make WPPS a special place.
Here's to another year of curiosity, discovery, and excellence! We look forward to welcoming everyone back on January 6, 2025.
Vaping is costly in more ways than one. The price of e-cigarettes and refills can quickly drain your wallet, while the long-term health risks can lead to expensive medical treatments.
And let’s not forget the emotional and physical toll of addiction. Start the new year fresh with a commitment to better choices. Say goodbye to vaping and hello to a healthier future!
Winter Break begins at the end of the day on Friday, December 20. Students will return to school on Monday, January 6, 2025.
We wish everyone a safe, happy, and restful holiday season.
A special morning with our amazing Transportation Team!
We had the joy of treating our dedicated bus drivers, courier, and transportation staff to breakfast today as a small token of our immense gratitude. Our drivers do so much more than just transport our students - they're the first smile our kids see in the morning and the last wave goodbye in the afternoon.
To our transportation heroes: Thank you for your commitment to safety, your endless patience, and the dedication you show to WPPS every single day. You truly make a difference!
Did you know? Many teens who vape report difficulty focusing in school, increased irritability and struggles with managing emotions.
These challenges are linked to the effects of nicotine on the brain. Protect your mental clarity and take control of your future—choose to stay vape-free and thrive!
