For those of you needing to register TK or NEW Kindergarten students we wanted to share with you some important information meetings for those newly registering for the 2023-2024 school year. We will be hosting a series of information sessions for families registering for Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten, as well as our Bilingual Immersion Program (registering grades TK & K only for 2023-2024 available at Creekside Oaks Elementary School only). Please see the information and registration links below, and please feel free to share the links with friends and families registering their children for school next year (note - these are all separate links).

This is also for NEW students in other grades that would like to enroll for next year!

We are thrilled to announce that we now have a brand NEW online spirit wear store! There are so many custom items to choose from in all sizes and styles. Items will be shipped directly to you and there is a pretty quick turn around time.

With the change in weather it seems cold and flu season is now upon us. This is a friendly reminder that if your student has a fever of 100.5 or has thrown up, they must stay home until they are fever free and haven't thrown up, without medication, for at least 24 hours. Thanks for helping us keep staff and students healthy!

Do you have questions or are in need of help with Parent Square and managing it/setting it up? Please go here for the new help page and Frequently Asked Questions. You’ll find answers for how to sign up, sign in, troubleshooting, and more.

We are so excited to welcome back volunteers on campus! We look forward to seeing you.

Attendance Reminder
If you need to report your student's absence you need to contact our attendance clerk, Maritza, with the reason for their absence. There are several ways to do this that are the most efficient ways: email: Mpisik@wpusd.org with your student's name and reason for absence (if they are sick you need to let us know what their symptoms are and for how long they have had them), respond to the email attendance alert via Parent Square OR the TBE app, or you can call the attendance message line directly at 916-434-5210. We have a very busy front office so if you could report your absence one of the ways above it would greatly help free up the phone lines for those needing to call. It's always a good idea to send a quick email to the teachers as well so they are aware of the absence.
For those students who are out sick: if they are going to be absent more than 2-3 days due to illness, please let us know so we can have you sign an "Independent Study" so the teacher can give them their class work so they don't get behind while they are absent.

If your student is going to be out of town and absent for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14 days, you will need to inform the front office of this absence no later than 1-2 weeks prior to leaving (the more time the better). Once the office has been informed, they will email you a travel study contract to electronically sign and will notify the teacher of the absence so they can get together all the work needed.

Teachers are very busy getting together needed work, so please be patient and give ample time before going on vacation.

*TRAVEL/INDEPENDENT STUDIES ARE NOT ALLOWED DURING THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF SCHOOL OR LAST 3 WEEKS OF SCHOOL.
