SHARK TALES -PARENT WEEKLY UPDATE
"LEADING WITH HEART" SHEIKO ELEMENTARY 1-4-19
WELCOME BACK!!!!
THANK YOU!
What's New for 2019:
Changes to the Weekly Update:
- We are condensing the Weekly Updates. Starting this month, parents will receive bi-weekly updates. We recognize the fact that many parents are bombarded with emails and are on overload. With that being said, we are reducing the newsletters to only twice monthly with the hopes that more parents will read the updates for important information. We will, however, send little reminders throughout the week for parents.
Lunch/Recess:
- Classes will switch the lunch recess partnership. This gives classes the opportunity to play with additional friends from other classes. We will continue with two classes in and two classes out at lunch, however, the pairs of classes will switch.

“Meet Your New Legislators” Forum - Jan. 17th
The WBSD Board of Education/Parent Communications Network Legislative Community Forum – “Meet Your New Legislators” is scheduled for Jan.17th at West Bloomfield High School in the iCenter at 7 p.m. The format of the event will be a meet and greet, a short presentation on important legislative topics, followed by a Q & A panel discussion between Board/PCN members and State Legislators. One topic of particular interest that will be discussed is the “Michigan School Finance Collaborative” report.
This event will replace the previously scheduled PCN meeting at Gretchko Elementary on Jan. 17th. We hope you can join us for this informative event.
