November News
Note From Miss Rutan:
I can't believe we are already at the holiday season. This year is flying by and our students are learning so much. I love going into the classrooms and seeing their growth over the year. One of our focuses this year for staff learning is different strategies in math. We are learning to get our students to talk more about the math they are learning. It has been so interesting to hear their thought processes about the numbers. We are gaining mathematicians. Students are taking risks and learning that it's ok to try something new. It's been great to watch their progress. Our Veteran's program was a success and it is always so wonderful to hear our students honor our Veterans each year. The 4th and 5th graders did a fantastic job. Our Holiday program is coming up for our younger students this next month and we hope you are able to make it. Details are below. Please make sure your students are dressed for the cold and have shoes and coats that can withstand the snow and rain.
If you have any questions, or concerns please contact me at rutan.katie@westada.org or by phone at (208) 350-4190.
Sincerely,
Katie Rutan
Principal

Parking Lot Procedures
* Please remain in your vehicle during pick up and drop off. If your child needs assistance, please park and walk them to the sidewalk. This helps keep the line moving for all of our families.
*If a staff member is waving you ahead, please pull forward to allow more cars up to the front drop off and pick up area.
*Children enter at the front of the parking lot and not on the sides, this is for safety. We have numbered signs to help efficiently have students ready for when their parents' car pulls up.
