Whittier Mid-Week Special
September 9, 2020
Materials Pickup: Wednesday and Thursday
Today, Wednesday and tomorrow, Thursday we will need to distribute some learning materials to our students. Some of the learning materials that students will need had not been delivered to FCPS schools in time for our previous distribution. However, every cloud has a silver lining and we have found one here.This will give us an excuse to see you! All of our teachers and staff will be here to greet you and say hello as you drive through the pickup. Read on to see how this will be organized:
Day One:
Who: 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Students and Families
When: Wednesday, September 9th 4:00-6:00 pm
Where: We will have families drive through the front loop of the school.
What: Stay in vehicles and staff will bring your materials to your car. Be ready to say hi to your classroom teacher in real life! 3rd Graders will be getting GoMath materials, 4th Graders Go Math materials and science materials, and 5th Graders will pick up GoMath and science materials.
Logistics:
- Please place a card with your child's last name on the front dashboard of your vehicle.
- When you enter the loop, a staff-member will direct you to the correct lane (left lane for 3rd and 4th grade, right lane for 5th grades)
- If you have children in other grades and want to do one single pick-up day, we will have those materials there for you to pick-up
- 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers and some of your other favorite staff members will be there to greet you. (We are very excited for this opportunity to see some familiar and new faces)
- Please remain in your vehicle and we will take care of the rest.
Day Two:
Who: Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade Students and Families
When: Thursday, September 10th 4:00-6:00 pm
Where: We will have families drive through the front loop of the school.
What: Stay in vehicles and staff will bring your materials to your car. Be ready to say hi to your classroom teacher in real life! Pre-K students don't need to pick up any supplies, but we really would love to just see you and say hi. Kindergarten students will pick up a couple of small materials for learning. 1st Grade Students will receive very important phonics instruction materials, and some math materials, and finally 2nd grade students will receive GoMath materials and important phonics materials to go with their HD word reading program.
Logistics:
- Please place a card with your child's last name on the front dashboard of your vehicle.
- When you enter the loop, a staff-member will direct you to the correct lane (left lane for 3rd and 4th grade, right lane for 5th grades)

- 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers and some of your other favorite staff members will be there to greet you. (We are very excited for this opportunity to see some familiar and new faces)
