Wrightstown Elementary School
May 21, 2021
I hope that all of you are doing well! I'd like to focus the main portion of my message on the elementary program models for next year and the significant importance of all families completing the registration. The parent enrollment form was sent to families this morning (5/21) containing a unique link for each elementary student.
During the 2021-2022 school year, the Council Rock School District will offer two (2) program models for elementary students. The first program model will be the traditional classroom model. Students enrolled in this program will attend school in-person five days a week. Students enrolled in the traditional model will not have the option to livestream into their classrooms if they need to be absent from school. The second program model will be the District Cyber Program. Students enrolled in this program will attend school virtually five days a week.
Parents will have the opportunity to switch their child from the District Cyber Program to the traditional classroom model at the end of the second marking period in January 2022. Parents in the traditional classroom model will not have the opportunity to switch their children to the District Cyber Program.
ALL elementary (K-5) families are required to select their enrollment decision for the 2021-2022 school year by June 1, 2021. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Beth

Daily reading logs can be found on my website or at this link. Remember our incentive for the month of May is a Pie in the Face for Mrs. Fox!!
We are still trying to confirm a date for our Reading Beach Party - that information will be shared shortly. Thank you for your patience!!
IT'S KINDERGARTEN & New Student REGISTRATION TIME!
Council Rock School District utilizes a secure online portal for parents to enroll their kindergarten-age child. Children must be five (5) years of age on or before September 1st for the school year you are registering. Click the link below to start the kindergarten registration process for your child.
If you have a new student coming to Wrightstown Elementary next year, please be sure to register your child by June 1st. If you register by this date, your child will definitely attend WES. Please let any neighbors know who may not be receiving CR information.
If you happen to register after 6/1 for a grade level that is already at maximum capacity, your child may need to attend another Council Rock School.

SATURDAY VACCINE CLINIC AT CR SOUTH FOR ANYBODY 12 & UP
Dear Council Rock School Community -
Please see below regarding vaccines being provided Saturday, May 22 at CRSouth High School by Village Shires Pharmacy. There are plenty of slots available. Any individual 12 or over is welcome to utilize the link to sign up for an appointment. It is NOT limited to CRSD students or employees.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are receiving your SECOND DOSE of the vaccine on May 22, you DO NOT need to click the link – your appointment is confirmed for the same time you had the first dose on May 1st. Please come at that time. BRING YOUR VACCINE CARD WITH YOU FROM THE FIRST DOSE.
A local pharmacy has contacted the school district about making Pfizer vaccinations available for students who are 12 years of age or older. Based on anticipated numbers, doing so at the pharmacy would be problematic, so this will be conducted at Council Rock South. In addition to students, the pharmacy will provide the vaccination to any friends or family members over the age of 12 interesting in getting the vaccine.
- Appointments will be open for Saturday, May 22 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Council Rock High School South.
- If this is the first dose, participants need to be available for a second dosage in 21 days (June 12).
- These vaccinations will be available whether you are insured or uninsured. If you are insured, PLEASE BRING YOUR INSURANCE CARD WITH YOU
- A parent will need to sign granting permission on the appointment scheduling link (below) for anyone under the age of 18.
- Appointment slots are limited so please schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
- This is completely voluntary. It is not a requirement of the Council Rock School District.
- This will take place at CRS, NOT at the pharmacy.
- Please make note of documents noted within the link that are required. Without them, the vaccine cannot be administered. EVERYONE MUST BRING ID.
Council Rock is providing this information to you as well as the facility use. However, the district is very appreciative of this service which is being provided solely by Village Shire Pharmacy. In order to schedule a vaccination, please access this link provided by the pharmacy:

The May lunch menu is available on the homepage of the WES website, and you can find it at the link directly below.
Free Lunch Program in Place Until the End of the School Year
Thanks to a federal program for COVID-19 relief, EVERY student in Council Rock is eligible to receive 7 days of FREE meals. In fact, when your child orders/picks up a nutritionally balanced and safely prepared/packaged free lunch, you help Council Rock receive funding that supports our lunch program and budget!

FRIENDLY REMINDERS
- When dropping off or picking up your child (ren) at the gym entrance, please make sure that you pull all the way up to the end of the sidewalk, past the gym entrance. This can help lighten the traffic on Penns Park Road.
- It is important that cars do not block the flow of traffic when picking up at the end of the day. Please do not block buses and cars from having the ability to exit the campus.
- Masks must be worn when on-site, approaching the building. Thank you for your attention to this requirement.
