Walden Weekly
School News You Can Use!
We had a wonderful first week of school with our Wildcats! It was great seeing our students this past Wednesday in-person, followed by the beginning of 109 Online. The first two days of learning this week were devoted to building a class community, getting to know one another, and developing trusting relationships. Next week, in addition to continuing to connect, we will begin our content-based instruction with math, reading, writing, and more! Please look for an email from your classroom teacher on Sunday with information about the week.
We very much appreciate all of your support at home as we transition back into school and learn how to navigate our new schedules. Developing routines with children is so important and we thank you for doing your best at home to help your children prepare for each day. Enjoy the beautiful weekend and we will see you back next week!
Thank you!
Stephanie Strenger, Walden Principal
