An update on what's happening at White Heath Elementary!
August 9, 2022
We are looking forward to the start of the 2022-2023 school year!
From the office...
Dear White Heath Sages,
We’re getting ready and excited to kick off a new school year! We can’t wait to welcome back our 5th graders, say hello to our new 4th graders, and introduce all of the new faces on staff this year.
Online registration is now closed. If you still need to register, please stop by the White Heath School office on a weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Registration is not complete until all fees are paid.
We will be posting class lists this Wednesday, August 10th, at 8:00 a.m. on the White Heath Gym doors and the Sievers Center doors. All elementary lists will be in both locations so you don't need to make multiple stops.
Meet the Teacher is scheduled for Tuesday, August 16th 2:00-3:00. Parents and students are welcome to meet the classroom teacher and drop off supplies during this time. This date is a work day for teachers and they have meetings and preparation for the new year, so classrooms are only open during the one hour time slot.
Parent meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, August 23rd. These meetings are held in teachers' classrooms and students and siblings should not attend. The meetings will be held at the following times:
5:30 - 5th Grade
6:15 - 4th Grade
Please "Like" White Heath School on Facebook for updates and pictures. We are looking forward to a great year at White Heath!
Sincerely,
Amanda Ryder
The first day of school is Wednesday, August 17th. This is a full day including breakfast and lunch service. Our regular school day is 8:15 AM-3:00 PM.
Please note...
Morning Drop Off
Morning car riders should be dropped off on High Street. Students will report to the playground off High Street, or enter the gym if the sign on the gym door indicates we are inside due to weather. The preferred drop off time is between 8:00-8:10 AM. The ideal arrival time for students who eat breakfast is 7:45 AM. Breakfast will begin at 7:45. Students cannot be dropped off before 7:30 AM.
***For the first three weeks of school, if it is raining in the morning, car riders should be dropped off at the front doors of the building. We will discontinue this once the gym is completed.
Afternoon Pick Up
Students who ride a bus will be supervised by a teacher and taken out to buses in the circle drive.
Car riders should be picked up on High Street. We are asking parents to pull all the way up to the intersection of High and Willow to avoid getting backed up into the highway.
Please write your student's last name on a piece of paper to hold in the window. Cars will follow the traffic flow and turn left on Willow after supervised pick up. Students should load into cars on the school side of the vehicle. Parents should remain in the vehicle.
Information For All Parents
A few reminders to keep our lines safe and moving:
1. Please have students organized and ready to get out of the car
2. Pull as far forward as possible before dropping your student off or picking them up
3. Stay in your vehicle during drop off and pick up
4. Accessible parking spots are available in the circle drive off Commercial Drive.
Please expect that our car lines and bus routes will need some time to adjust for the first few days of school. We promise to take the time to make sure every child is in the right place. Please be patient as we work to ensure that every student is safe. We will work out the processes and get things running smoothly, and we appreciate your help with this!
