FROM THE WYWLA PTSA
I hope you and your student are having a successful experience so far at WYWLA. It’s a wonderful school with a talented, dedicated staff. I’m hopeful everyone is energized for a great year.
Meantime, The PTSA meeting and PTSA Café were a tremendous success last Tuesday. Thank you to all in attendance, and, those who were there is spirit! Save these dates for future meetings: 9/17 & 10/15. After clubs, come for snacks and Wifi at the Café 3:45pm. (Bring your student too.) Stay for the meeting at 5pm. We meet in Lineberry L2. It’s not confirmed yet, but future meetings are planned to stream live on Facebook.
I imagine many of you will attend Meet the Teacher Night on 8/29 at 6pm. Come early and stop by the PTSA booth to join up, get information, or just say hi. I hope you’ll join. Already I’ve met so many outgoing and interesting people. Don’t wait until the next meeting. Write me. Join a committee and make a friend.

SAFETY PROCEDURES
We have received a number of concerns regarding cars picking up and dropping off in or near the staff parking lot. We have also observed several cars dropping off near the high school building. It is not safe for students to be dropped off in undesignated areas.
All cars are expected to use the Western Blvd entrance and pick up and drop off in the main loop.
Thanks for helping us maintain a safe campus!
