Message from the Principal
Dear Whittier Parents/Guardians,
Happy Thursday!
Thank you for your continued support in being partners with us in supporting your child reach their goals. One of the commitments is to ensure we have your student here EVERYDAY.
Our goal is to have 100% of attendance EVERYDAY. We need them here on time and ready to learn and reach their goals. Please help us ensure your student arrives on time at 8:30am to line up with their classroom, have breakfast and be ready for instruction at 8:45am. Every minute counts when they are with us, and we want to maximize instructional time.
Thank you to students and parents that participated in your child's conference this evening, as this is a way to stay informed of your child's educational journey.
Have a wonderful weekend! Remind your student to read, read, read!

Information from the District-Peachjar
The School District of Waukesha has begun using a new digital flyer communication tool called “Peachjar.” This “green” initiative will save our schools tons of paper and reduce copy costs by thousands of dollars.
Digital flyers can be viewed by clicking on the Peachjar button on the our school’s website.
This system is used exclusively for distribution of school-approved flyers.
School District of Waukesha - Elementary Student Handbook:
The School District of Waukesha - Elementary Student Handbook can be found on the District website. Parents are required to read the handbook and review it with their children. There is a specific page in the handbook to be signed by the parent and returned to Whittier. We will have extra copies of the signature page at our “Meet Your Teacher” night.
