WPS is sharing the following memo regarding an incident that occurred on our playground this morning, October 20, 2026.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., a student found a realistic-looking BB gun on an outdoor trash can during recess and immediately turned it in to their teacher, who promptly notified school administration.

WPS administration acted quickly to review camera footage and determined that the BB gun had been brought onto the playground sometime after school hours the previous evening. The BB gun was not loaded or used.

All students and staff are safe, and the situation was addressed promptly by WPS administration.

Please refer to the attached memo for additional information.

WPS is requesting your participation in the 2026-2027 Impact Aid Survey!
