Volunteer Opportunity Coming Next School Year...

STAIR Tutoring Program Coming to Waugh Chapel

Waugh Chapel is excited to partner with the STAIR tutoring program next school year and we are looking for people who are interested in tutoring. Please see the information below and if you or someone you know is interested, please complete the new volunteer application below and contact Mrs. Landis at jlandis@aacps.org.

Tutors are assigned a student at the beginning of STAIR, and the tutor and student work together all year long. Tutors can commit as one day, two days, or as substitute tutors, and are placed in August at sites that are convenient for them. Our program begins at 2:30 (after school) and ends at 3:45 on Mondays and Thursdays.
A 45 minute New Tutor Information session will be held at the Michael Busch Annapolis Library on West Street on Thursday, July 31st from 1:30-2:30.
In August there will be a one and half hour curriculum training for New Tutors for the 2025-2026 school year that begins in October.

Message from the Media Center

Please assist your child with returning his/her library book to the WCES media center. ALL books were due back by Friday, May 30th - one week ago. With only one week left of school, we are still missing $2,538.43 worth of library books. Some of these books were newly purchased this year.

Please return all books to the library ASAP. If your child no longer has the book, you may pay online to replace the book, send in cash or check to Waugh Chapel Elementary, or purchase a replacement copy. Of course, returning the original book with no fees is the best option for our WCES library. Thank you for your attention to this matter. There is a link below to pay for the lost or missing books.

Message from the Health Room

This is a reminder to pick up all medication from the health room by June 13, 2025, at 2 PM. All medication that is not picked up by this time will be discarded according to guidelines. Thank you.
