A Word from the Principal
We are looking forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday, Feb 13. This week we will celebrate Friendships on Tuesday, February 14th. Students are welcome to bring a decorated box for Valentine exchange and enough Valentines to exchange with their classmates. Students will exchange Valentines throughout the day and have activities schedule. We will not have a scheduled party with parents this year. On Friday, we will have our first 3-5th KISS dance. This is a parent/student dance with an RSVP and a cost per family of $5. There will be concessions available. See all information in the flyer within the newsletter. There are no student drop offs for the dance. Students must have a parent or "someone special" with them to attend the dance or they will not be admitted.
The Multi-purpose room is in the final stages of completion and we are looking forward to receiving a final inspection to begin to make plans to move in for PE and use the building for PEP Rallies and school events. More information to come as it is received from the district and contractor. Stay tuned!
We will have four weeks of learning until we dismiss for our Spring Break on March 13-17 and then return and finish out March with our STEAM night on March 30th.
Welcome Back,
Wendy Anaya
WPE Principal

COUNSELORS CORNER
Great 8 Skill - Self-Awareness- What do those words Self Awareness mean? Let’s break it down. What does self mean?
Self is just another word for you. Like the word mySELF...self is a word for a person and today that person is you. Now does anyone know what awareness means?
Awareness is just a big word to mean to know or learn something. So today we are going to learn all about you. There are so many things that we can learn about you. Maybe we can learn what things you like, maybe something you are really good at or maybe even something you need help with. This is important to know because one day when you grow up, you are going to have a career. You have to know what things you like or your strengths because you want to make sure that your job is something you like.
Self-Awareness "I can" Statement:
Show an awareness of my personal strengths
