Good afternoon, WES Families!
Please see below for all of the happenings at Walkerton Elementary!
Happy Spring Break! (New)
Spring Break has arrived!
We hope you enjoy some wonderful family time with your children this upcoming week, preferably somewhere warm and sunny!
The WES Office will be closed all of next week, and we will see everyone again on Monday, March 28th!
Report Cards Available Today! (New)
The end of the 3rd Nine Weeks has come and gone, and Report Cards will be sent digitally today!
Earbuds For Sale in the WES Office (NEW)
Is your child in need of earbuds for their Chromebook or iPad!?
If so, the WES Office will be selling replacement earbuds for $1 starting after Spring Break!

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Girls Basketball Team on Winning the North Liberty Tournament!
Snow Days Moving Forward (Reminder)
Indiana Winter is in full force, and that means there is always the possibility that school could be delayed or moved to virtual.
In the event that inclement weather precludes our doors from being open, John Glenn Schools will be utilizing eLearning Days instead of canceling school for the day.
For students at the primary level, teachers should have sent home eLearning Day packets or folders for your child(ren). For our older students, there will be more online, interactive activities fed through Canvas that students will need to complete.
With the cold and snow on its way in January, if you have a question as to how your child's teacher will utilize eLearning Days, please feel free to send them an email to clarify.
(RECURRING) WES Devices: Chargers, and Cords Going Home
If/when a child is sent home for COVID related reasons, we want to ensure that each student has everything they need to meet virtually with their class(es): This includes sending home a device, charging brick, and cord.
Our Tech Department does a wonderful job of ensuring that these items are placed in a Ziploc bag with a note for each child.
As a reminder, if the charging brick and cord are not returned upon your child's returning to school, for grades KG-2nd, a $5 fee for each the charging brick and cord will be assessed to your child's account. For grades 3-6, a $20 fee will be assessed for a missing Chromebook charging brick and cord.
If items are misplaced or forgotten, we will send home a reminder to return the item, but if the charging brick or cord is not returned within 48 hours, that $5 fee will be assessed until the items are returned.
If you have any questions, please contact Principal Fuller at pfuller@jgsc.k12.in.us
(RECURRING) Boys and Girls Club Information
Starting this school year, the JG Before and After School Program is transitioning into the Boys and Girls Club to provide before and after school care for our elementary students.
You should have received an email from Mr. Davis earlier this week, but if not, please click HERE for more information on the program.
With any new program, there will be some bumps along the way, but here are TWO UPDATES that will hopefully alleviate any stress:
- The wonderful individuals you have gotten to know with John Glenn B/A Care will be back as part of the Boys and Girls Club Program!
- The service will start our first day of school, Wednesday, August 11th
Please register for care as normal. If you have any questions about the program, please contact Mrs. Heather Harrison at hharrison@jgsc.k12.in.us

Principal Fuller's Thoughts
Wow...the time has arrived...Spring Break is here!
We have hit another milestone in the course of the school year!
There are a lot of people to thank for getting us to this point...too many in fact.
What I really want to focus on as we approach Spring Break is simple... do what you love!
The past 2+ years have affected everyone differently...whether physically, mentally, or emotionally, we are not the same people we were a year or two years ago.
Life is too short and too precious...DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
Detach...relax your mind...forget about the stresses that keep you up at night.
Instead, focus on YOU for a moment.
Everyone is busy...but it's the people who make enjoying life a priority that, well...really ENJOY their life!
It can be anything...whether spending a weekday afternoon meeting a friend for lunch, picking up that book that's sat untouched on your nightstand, taking a day trip with your family to go for a hike...whatever you wish you could do more often!
It's about being proactive and creating a life you love instead of living the one you think you're stuck with...YOU'RE NOT!
Take care of yourself...pamper yourself...after all, you deserve it ;)
