WES offers a strong student support system that addresses the whole child, ensuring that each child experiences achievement and success as students of our school.
We recognize the importance of nurturing the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual development of the children as well as their intellectual growth. Our teachers and faculty assess each child’s current needs and employ techniques and use the resources best-suited to inspire them; we are committed to helping each child develop his or her fullest potential.
Chaplain
The Chaplain leads the weekly Chapel services and teaches religion to all students. In addition, the Chaplain is available for pastoral counseling to any student, family, or staff member desiring it.
Counselor
The role of the Counselor is to offer support to students, families, teachers, and staff to help facilitate a successful academic year. The Counselor works with a multidisciplinary team to provide students with support for social, emotional, and behavioral issues to maximize their academic achievement and personal growth and development.
Learning Specialist
To ensure that all students benefit fully from the school’s enriched curriculum, the Learning Specialist works with teachers, staff, and families to support students with learning differences. The Learning Specialist works with families, as needed, to coordinate and monitor academic accommodation plans for students whose families have submitted testing reports and meet regularly with Division Heads, School Counselor, and teachers.
Nurse
The Nurse is responsible for promoting good health throughout the school so that students may be successful learners. In addition to administering first aid to the minor scrapes, bumps, and aches of WES students, the Nurse teaches Middle School Health class, performs vision and hearing assessments, and dispenses all medication to students.
