Wildcat Weekly
January 8, 2021
Happy New Year Wildcat families!!! Although it has been eerily quiet in the building this week, it was a nice way for everyone to ease back into things. I hope you all found time to relax and recharge over the holidays as I know I did! It also gave us extra time to make sure we are ready for students to return to the building for in-person learning on Monday!

Schedule Change for K, 1st & 2nd Specials
With specials gradually returning to their classrooms, we had to adjust the times for specials for K, 1 and 2 so that students have time to return to their classrooms before dismissal. The revised times are below. The schedule change will begin on Monday. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding!
Kindergarten Specials: 12:30 - 1:10
1st Grade Specials: 1:20 - 2:00
2nd Grade Specials: 2:10 - 2:50
Parenting Through a Pandemic
January Instructional Model Calendar
Absent Note Change
The WCASD will start accepting parent notes via email for students who are absent from school and an original signature is not required. The email address must be registered in Power School and will be verified by the attendance secretary when the note is received. The email needs to be sent to Elizabeth Johannesen, our attendance secretary, at ejohannesen@wcasd.net (not through Schoology or Seesaw). Please include details of when your child will be absent from school (either partially or the entire day). For early dismissals or late arrivals please be sure to list the exact times.
Parents can still choose to submit notes in paper form within five school days of the absence. Phone calls will not be accepted as documentation of a student’s absence. This goes into effect for absences starting on December 14, 2020 and will remain in place until otherwise notified.
