Got Legos?
We are working on creating a mobile LEGO wall at Whiteside. If you have LEGOs that your child has outgrown and you would love to donate, we will gratefully take any hand-me-downs. Just drop them off at the school library or let us know, and we will gladly come pick them up. Thank you so much! (The photo is of a Lego board at another school and our inspiration.)
Online Learning Resources
Are you looking for ways for your students to practice skills at home? See the attachment for online resources that are available to your student. Contact teachers or our librarian, Mrs. Foshee, for assistance with usernames and passwords.
