Reminder to Pre-K-4th Grade Parents to complete the device form in Tyler
As sent out by Communications Director, Theresa Komitas on December 9th:
We hope this email finds you well! The Technology department is needing some information from all PreK-4th families. In the event your student is asked to participate in temporary distance learning, we have put together a form that asks what resources would be needed for them to be successful while not in the building. The document attached shows the steps required to complete the form in the TylerSIS portal.
Happy Holidays,
SD308 Technology Department
We are Building a Wall at WC!
Thank you to Nurse Laura...a note of farewell as she starts a new chapter.
It is with mixed emotions that I share with you all that I will not be returning to Wolf's Crossing after Winter Break as I have accepted a job offer outside of 308. I will be continuing my career as a school nurse, but at a private therapeutic day school for students ages 3-21 with mild to complex disabilities as well as multiple medical needs. Being at WC for 13+ years has provided me with many opportunities for professional as well as personal growth, and now the time has come to embrace change and branch out with the hopes of becoming an even better nurse. So many amazing students and families have crossed my path in my time at WC and helped mold me into the nurse and individual I am today. For this, I will be forever grateful. While I am excited for what lies ahead, I'm certain a piece of my heart will always remain at WC.
Nurse Laura
PTA Updates
As we head into winter break and the new year we want to thank all of our families who have been a part of making this a great year for our students! We had a great year hosting an amazing Fun Run event, a chilly but fun Trunk or Treat event, a combined Holiday Shop event, a WC spirit wear shop, and we were able to fulfil classroom grants, provide staff with holiday gifts and a conference meal. We hope everyone has an amazing break with their family and we are excited for all the fun that the new year has in store for our students.
