We are looking forward to teaching your child during the 2007-2008 school year. As your child prepares for the following school year, there are a few important details that you need to be aware of.

Everyday all students must wear his or her uniform with their tie to show support for our school. We are proud to be a part of Westminster Community Charter School, Buffalo’s Best!!!

A school supply list is listed below. Please have all supplies in by the first day of school. We suggest that you do not wait to buy supplies until the last week of summer. Many stores, such as WalMart, Kmart, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, or Target, have the shelves stocked by the end of the school year.
