Handouts from these meetings will be posted on this page for parents and community members who could not attend.

The meetings begin at 8:30 am and are in person as well as on Zoom and run for approximately one hour. The same zoom meeting information will be used for each meeting:

Help me give my students brain power by wiping down tables to stay germ free, access to tissues and healthy snacks.

Help me give my students the manga books such as Naruto and One Piece so many love to read.

Help me give my students historical fiction such as Ghost in the Tokaido Inn and that enhances instruction in ancient world history.

Help me give my students the storage solutions and TpT resources they need.

Help me give my students flexible seating. So many kids struggle with ADHD and they need movement options! It's hard to fidget in our hard plastic chairs!

Help me give my students some flexible sitting in the classroom and I need another bookshelf because I still have more books I am getting and need more shelves to put them.

We would like to showcase and share the activities and achievements of our Wangenheim community.

The Kona Ice shaved ice truck will be on campus during lunch on minimum days. Prices range from $4-$6.

NAMI Basics is a free, 6-session education program for parents, caregivers and other family who provide care for youth (ages 22 and younger) who are experiencing mental health symptoms. This class is taught by trained teachers with lived experience raising a child with a mental health condition. They know what you’re going through because they’ve been there too.

The Youth Opportunity Pass is a program which allows anyone 18 and under to ride regional transit including buses, trolleys, and trains free of charge. As part of the SANDAG Transit Equity Pilot to make transportation more accessible, the Youth Opportunity Pass is designed to connect young people to more opportunities throughout San Diego.

To be eligible for the Youth Opportunity Pass, riders 18 and under must have a Youth PRONTO app account, or a PRONTO Youth card, which can be used for all MTS buses and trolleys as well as COASTER and SPRINTER trains. Children 5 and under ride free at all times, and don’t need a card or proof of eligibility. To find out more, see the SANDAG website.

East Coast trip for 7th grade students for next year. On this trip we take participants to Boston, NYC, and Washington DC. We travel by plane and by luxury bus. We stay in very nice hotels and eat at fantastic restaurants. We see and do everything we can possibly fit into this week. There is one teacher chaperone for every 10-12 students and nighttime security guards hired for each floor of the hotels where there are students. This is an all inclusive trip, so once you pay for it, you don't need money for anything else except souvenirs. This is a trip of a lifetime- don't miss out!
