Supply Lists, Uniform Guideline, Academic Calendar & More

The "Parents" tab on the WCA website, WCALions.org, is the central place to find much of the information you'll need to get the school year started smoothly. 

In addition to class supply lists, academic calendar, summer reading and course requirements, you'll find the current student handbook and uniform guidelines.  


Upper School Technology 

Westminster requires all 9th through 12th grade students to have a personal laptop each day.  The goal is to give students the opportunity to learn how to utilize technology appropriately and effectively while enhancing their education experience.  Please follow this link to learn more and access upper school technology requirements.
