Return for 4th and 5th
The school board is meeting on Tuesday to determine a plan for return to school for in-person students in 4th and 5th grade. The proposal is to bring students back daily and not in cohorts beginning March 15. Things can change, but keep this in mind for your planning purposes. When 4th and 5th grades come back it will be in plan A, with less restrictions for social distancing in the classroom. We will still have mask mandates and 6 foot eating protocols in place.
WSES Spirit Gear
Teachers will be sharing a flyer with you about ordering 2020-21 Spirit Wear soon. There are two shirt options, a mask and a water bottle. You can order on our PTA store site until March 20.
Cohort B Returns
We look forward to seeing 4th and 5th grade Cohort B ONLY on Monday, March 8! All others, join remotely please.
Thank You!!!
You are an amazing group of parents and we THANK YOU so much for your support of Booster this year. Our school rocked out way past the goal, which will allow some really awesome experiences for our kiddos, thanks to you!!
Carpool Arrival Procedure update
Now that we are all well familiar with the questions upon arrival, we are going to switch to a quick response model. The questions will be in poster form (see below) and all you have to do is respond with a thumbs up if all is good or a thumbs down if your child does not pass the screening. (We have heard your frustration about this process and while we want to honor your desire to forgo this, we will instead try this process as a way to stay in line with expectations.)
We hope you will appreciate this change. We will continue to take temps before students unload. Please have students ready to go so we can get everyone through the line quickly, especially with all the 4th and 5th graders coming back soon. We thank you!!!
Don't forget to sign up for K
I am preparing to put classes together for Kindergarten so if you have a child who will be 5 by August 31, please go in and register for the 21-22 school year here.
