Wildcat News
From the desk of Beckie Webster
Thank you for your service!
This upcoming week is a busy one for Brooke Hartgraves. She has worked with students after school on her own time to create an evening performance that will happen on Thursday night. Thank you Brooke for your willingness to go above and beyond so that our students can experience a theater event at the elementary level. Our students, parents, faculty and staff appreciate your work with our students-thank you!
Have you noticed the fliers in the bathrooms about how to help upload pictures for the yearbook? A big thank you goes out to Missy Linendoll, Gisselle Martin and Lesli Brown for their commitment to creating a yearbook for our students that will be fantastic. Please use this app. (ReplayIt) to help add pictures to our yearbook. Thank you ladies!
Updates:
1. Faculty Meeting on Monday, (Feb. 15th) , please bring lesson ideas to share with everyone on how you are teaching the habits in the classroom. This will be a time of collaboration and learning by all. We will also be reviewing your feedback from the campus survey to help make WSE the best place to be!
2. District Parent Survey-look what we could win if our parents complete the survey below: "We have confirmation that the campus with the highest PARENT survey participation rate will get a prize. Chick-fil-A Cedar Park will be donating a special gift card treat to each teacher at the winning campus. Keep communicating with your parents and encourage them to participate. The deadline for the parent survey is 2/27." -From my boss-Brad Mansfield.
I will communicate this to the parents via school messenger today-put it in your newsletters, too. Let's Win!

18. Just a reminder from Steve Stripling, Transportation Director: Bus drivers are trained to park bumper to bumper, when lining up, to prevent anyone from passing between the buses.
We too, have had incidents where a parking brake was not engaged properly, resulting in a bus rolling into the back of another bus.
Please remind duty staff and parents that we do not cross in-between idling vehicles and why we direct and control foot traffic at the designated crosswalks during our drop-off and pick-up times. Let us know if you have any questions or need support.
Our Amazing PTA
Help me thank our PTA for their generous donations to support our students-thank you PTA!
