Keep sending in your reenrollment information to secure your students spot for the 2023-2024 school year as spots are filling up QUICK. Please note; that any student planning on returning for the next school year will need an updated POR within the last 90 days. Even if you are not fully committed to returning, we highly recommend sending in a POR to verify your child for the next school year to keep their spot, as WTPA will be capped for all classrooms! Once those classes are caped, any more students, new or returning, will be put on WTPA’s waiting list.
PORs can be any of the following:
• Utility Bill (electric, gas, water, sewer)
• Mortgage Statement
• Lease or Rental Agreement that specifies the start and end date of the agreement; must be dated and include names and signatures of the lessee and the lessor (typically this is the first and last pages of the agreement).
• Original Mortgage Statement
• Pay Stub
• Bank Statement
You can send a picture of the POR to any of your student’s teachers via email or class Dojo, or, to Ms. Madison in the main office through email or class dojo. (mwarner@westerntoledoprep.org)
Open enrollment is still active for the 2023-2024 school year at WTPA. Visit our website www.westerntoledoprep.org for more information!

Our second quarter Perfect Attendance and Honor Roll students had visitors from the Walleye Hockey Team this past week! Although not everyone was able to score on spike, they did receive some pretty nice jerseys out of it!
The first week of March was Read Across America Week and WTPA planned different activities each day to get our kiddos active in reading throughout the whole week.

morning with their kiddos figuring out the names of different books.

Benefits of Sports in Schools
Did you know that less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day? That means most children aren’t getting the exercise they need to prevent serious health issues like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. And they’re missing out on the academic benefits too, since exercise is linked to better focus, memory, and classroom performance.
The CDC recommends 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical exercise a day for school-aged children. When kids are active at school, they are healthier, happier, and more successful in school. Here are a few of the benefits of sports and physical education in schools:
- Improved attention
- Better mood and memory
- Lower risk of depression
- More time on task
- Fewer absences
- Better behavior
- Better bone & heart health
- Healthier weight
Source: CDC Healthy Schools
Our experienced school leaders strongly believe in these benefits and implement them throughout the school day.
