    Olympic Triathlon

    Get ready for the Westlake Charter School Olympic Triathlon—our biggest fundraiser of the year! This month-long event supports Enriched Educational Opportunities like athletics, after-school activities, and community events. It’s time to rally your community to help support their educational journey. Let’s make this year’s triathlon a huge success! Our goal is to beat last year’s fundraising total of $40000! 

    The Olympic Triathlon launches on September 3rd and ends with our in-person closing ceremony on September 27th. An email with directions on how to set up your student’s fundraising page will be sent shortly.

    • Goal: $180 per student, $1500 per classroom

    Classroom Ambassadors and Grade Liaisons

    WAVE seeks Classroom Ambassadors and Grade Liaisons for the 2024 – 2025 school year.  Be the representative for your child’s classroom, helping WAVE to bridge the communication gap between parents, teachers, and the community.

    • What is a Classroom Ambassador or Grade Liaison?
      • Classroom Ambassadors serve as the classroom liaison between the teachers, the parents, and WAVE. They are important members of the Westlake parent community, becoming the source of information for upcoming events and activities in their child’s classroom. We hope to have at least one ambassador per classroom. Classroom Ambassadors will report to a Grade Liaison for their respective grade levels.
      • Grade Liaisons will be the lead coordinator and communicator for the Classroom Ambassadors.
    • What is the time commitment for the Classroom Ambassador or Grade Liaison?
      • Monthly WAVE Meeting – 1 hr/month
      • Communicating with other parents – 0-2 hrs/month

    As a Classroom Ambassador, you will help to foster community at Westlake. Classroom Ambassadors can leverage relationships to make Westlake the best possible school for our kids (all while getting to know other parents in your child’s class better!).

    If you are interested please sign-up to be a Grade Liaison or sign-up to be a Classroom Ambassador or email us at wavewcs@gmail.com if you have any questions.
