August 2022
Dear Parents,
Happy Summer! As you know, our building has been under construction this summer. We are all excited to get into the building to admire our new look. We will not be in our building for another week or so. We will be working very hard to get the building ready to show off for our Meet the Teacher event on August 18th. Please know that it will not be perfect and there will probably be a lot that still needs unpacked and organized. We appreciate your support and grace as we move as fast as we can to prepare for your visit. We will welcome our ECSE, PK and Kindergarten students at 3:00 pm on Thursday, August 18th. It will be very important that you arrive before 3:00 pm as we have a great hour planned. We will then have a "come and go" Meet the Teacher for our 1st-5th graders from 4:00-5:15 pm on Thursday, August 18th. We are looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
Your child's teacher will be calling you and following up with an important email no later than noon on Wednesday, August 17th. The email will contain important beginning of the year information and forms to fill out. Please take time to read over the email and fill out the necessary forms. We appreciate your support.
Just a reminder that our new school hours are 8:15-3:40. We will open our doors every day at 7:50 am for students to get to their classrooms in plenty of time to prepare for their day. It is extremely important that your child arrives to school by 8:10 am or earlier. Teachers have things planned to start at 7:50 am daily. You don't want your child to miss out on extra practice or activities.
The first day of school for the 2022-2023 school year is August 22.
For the safety of all of our students and staff, we do not allow parents to walk students to class. We have a bus zone, hiker route and car rider line. All students will enter the building through one these entrances. Visitors will not be allowed through these areas. ALL visitors MUST enter the building throught the front entrance. Please make sure that you attend Meet the Teacher so that everything will be done for your child ahead of time to ensure a smooth return to school. We appreciate your cooperation as our focus must always be on getting the students safely to the classrooms.
We are looking forward to an amazing 2022-2023 school year!
Staff Development Day Snacks
Teachers and Staff will be returning Monday, August 8th for two weeks of Professional Development Days. We are asking for snack donations to help show our appreciation for the start of the 2022-2023. We will busy unpacking and getting everything ready. Everyone will certainly enjoy the opportunity for a quick snack.
For your convenience, we have created an Amazon wish list where you can donate, and your items will be shipped directly to the school.

We love and appreciate our Walker families! THANK YOU!
Lunch Visitors
Lunch visits for kindergarten - 5th grade will begin on September 26th. One lunch visitor per student would be appreciated. If you want someone other than a parent/guardian to visit for lunch, we must have the proper notification prior to their visit. We do not have lunch visitors at the beginning of the year so that students can learn routines and procedures. We are not able to accept lunch drop-offs of fast food, etc. Parents may drop off forgotten lunch kits if necessary.
