Spring Traffic Patterns and Student Safety Concerns
We have noticed an increased number of cars parked on both sides of Sabino Drive, causing concerns about the safety of our students. Please help us with the following dismissal procedures:
- if you are picking up students via car, please use the car rider line in lieu of parking on Sabino to meet your students.
- if your students are solo or escorted walkers, they should only cross Sabino Drive at the crosswalk or cross Sabino with a parent escort. Students should not cross Sabino alone due to the heavy traffic on that road at dismissal time.
Thank you for your help in keeping our Tigers safe as we move into our last month of the 2018-2019 school year.
Tigers Place 3rd in LTISD Robotics Competition!
We are proud of our Tigers and proud of their Discovery/Gifted and Talented Teacher, Ms. Erika Serhus. Well done!
2019-2020 School Supply Lists and Kits
There are three ways you can purchase next year's school supplies.
- Thanks to our fabulous PTO, supplies can be ordered online from schoolkidz at your convenience! The online prepackaged grade level supplies can be ordered until June 7, 2019.. If you purchase your student's school supplies online, the supplies will be delivered to the school before the first day of school. Grade appropriate kits are available now. Click here and use account #79519 to view the kits.
- LTLov provides a limited amount of free district-approved, prepackaged school supplies funded from charitable grants. If you would like to apply for a set of free, prepackaged supplies, fill out this form and forward it to LTLOV so that it is received by LTLOV by June 3.
- Below we have lists of the school supplies so that, if you prefer, you can purchase the supplies on your own from any source convenient to you. Feel free to drop off the school supplies that you've purchased at our Meet the Teacher event August 13.
- Kindergarten Girls......... Kindergarten Boys
- 1st Grade Girls ...............1st Grade Boys
- 2nd Grade Girls.............. 2nd Grade Boys
- 3rd Grade Girls* .............3rd Grade Boys*
- 4th Grade Girls*..............4th Grade Boys*
- 5th Grade Girls*............. 5th Grade Boys*
- Gifted and Talented Students - Grades 1 - 5
*3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Students also need to have student planners for the 2019-20 school year. These are sold separately from the prepackaged kits. The student planners can be ordered through May 24. Please use this form to order your planner(s.) Planners cost $6 each, payable in cash or check to WCHE. Planners ordered by May 24 will be delivered to students' classrooms at our Meet the Teacher Event August 13. Planners can also be purchased at the school during the Meet the Teacher Event or from the front desk any time on or after the first day of school.
The Wall of Fame for Shoe Tying for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Graders
Once notified of the student's successful shoe-tying accomplishment, we will provide your student with a paper shoe to color, take the student's photo, and then post the photo and customized paper shoe on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!
It's going to be really exciting to see our young Tigers on the WALL OF FAME!
Staff Appreciation Week is May 6 - May 10!
If you have a business or home business and would be willing to donate one of our prizes, your donation would be greatly appreciated. And, even if you don't have a business and would like to donate, the PTO will gladly accept gift cards.
If you have questions, feel free to contact Barby Schmidt. Thank you!
LOST & FOUND NEEDS MORE FINDERS!
And, avoid permanently losing lovely and valuable belongings by putting name tags on them. The PTO and our Monitors routinely go through Lost & Found items in an attempt to return those with names on them to the rightful owners.
Want to be involved? We need volunteers for our upcoming STAAR Tests!
WCHE is seeking volunteers to help monitor the hallways near restrooms during our STAAR testing dates of May 13, May 14, and May 15. Mrs. Beninga will provide training.
If you'd like to help, just click here for our signup sheet.
