White's Tower Elementary
Bearcat Brief Version 1
Welcome Back
We just finished up our second full week of school and it's been going great. Word is out about the great things going on at White's Tower Elementary; our enrollment continues to grow.
This year our mission statement is:
To Know To Celebrate To Love To Inspire....Every Student To Succeed
Our theme for the year is Success Under Construction. Each and every day our goal as educators is to help ALL students succeed by offering them a world-class education.
Preschool
WTE welcomed our youngest bearcats on Wednesday, August 29th. Our preschoolers were all so excited and eager to start learning. Great job to all of our bearcats welcoming our new friends to the best school around.
K-5 MAP testing
During the week of September 4th and September 10th, we will be continuing MAP testing. Students will take a reading and a math computerized test. Please be sure your child gets a good nights sleep. Always proud of our bearcats when they get to show what they know. Below is a Parent Guide to help understand scores generated from MAP testing.

Parent Pick-Up
Please be patient as we work through some of the logistics of parent pick-up. For the safety of ALL students and adults, it is imperative that you stay in line and do not try to go around other cars. White's Tower staff will be there to greet our bearcats and help them unload at 8:25.
YMCA
White's Tower 21st CCLC enrichment program still has a few openings for the after school program. The program runs Monday through Thursday until 5:45. Please contact Sally Fortney in the Family Resource Center if interested. Forms can also be picked up in the main office.
