Homestay Family Highlight – The Harms Family

We’d like to take a moment to recognize and thank one of our wonderful Homestay families—the Harms. They are graciously hosting two of our international students, Annuo and Helin, and we are so grateful for the love, care, and support they provide.

Their willingness to open their home has created a nurturing and welcoming environment where students can thrive—academically, emotionally, and culturally.

If you are interested in becoming a Homestay family and offering an international student an incredible opportunity to study in the U.S. while creating a meaningful lifelong connection, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Evelina Bialon at bialone@williamsburgchristian.org.

Thank you again to the Harms family for making a difference!

  • To maintain a secure environment, Pre-K families are asked to use only the front door during school hours (7:40 AM–3:30 PM). We appreciate your cooperation!

  • Carline: For those needing additional time to secure their students in a car seat, please use the flat area of the staff/leadership parking lot. Drop off & pick up guide
  • MAP Testing: August 18–22
    Students will participate in MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing during the week of August 18–22. Please ensure your child is well-rested and arrives on time each day.
  • Dress Code Reminder:  All tops worn by Lower School students—including sweatshirts, sweaters, shirts, and jumpers—must have the WCA logo, per dress code guidelines.

  • Student Government: Campaigning for student government will continue until Monday, August 18th.  The Campaign will be open to all students who have submitted their applications.  Candidate speeches will be held on Tuesday, August 19th, followed by elections on Wednesday, August 20th
  • Tardiness: A recent trend of increased tardiness among students at the beginning of the school day. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, consistent tardiness can disrupt the learning environment and cause students to miss important instructional time. Arriving on time allows students to settle in, prepare for the day’s lessons, and participate fully from the outset. We kindly ask for your cooperation in ensuring your child arrives at school promptly each morning. If tardiness is unavoidable, please ensure your child checks in at the main office with a written note explaining the reason for the tardiness.
