Whittier Weekly

Principal's Note
Parents, Families, Guardians:
THANK YOU for a GREAT first week! We had so much fun with your kids! I hope everyone that started virtual had a great start too! Virtual learners- we have connected you to a Whittier space to communicate with each other, student services and myself if you need anything.
Reminder that there is no school on Monday due to Labor Day! We will see you back on Tuesday, September 8th. School hours - 8:30am - 3:40pm Monday - Friday. (with the exception of 4K - they do not attend on Friday). There is no outside supervision until 8:20am - please no drop offs before then.
We are honored to work with YOU and your children everyday!

Hello Hello!
COVID Safety Feature #1
COVID Safety Feature #2
COVID Safety Feature #3
**Helpful tip** If your child's mask slips off of their face, you can tighten up the ear loops with tape or little rubber extenders. This can help when their little noses escape. :)
Writing in 1st grade!
Recess!
Math - Addition War!
First Day!
First time at school!
Making Friends!
Monthly Characteristic!
Respect can be many different things. Some examples:
- respectful words to others
- respect to ourselves
- respect to our family members
- respect when someone needs space
- respect to our friends
- respect to property
The picture above shows a book on the easel. We will be reading this book in all classrooms sometime this month. It's called, "We're All Wonders". This story celebrates differences. We are all different and it is our job to respect each and every difference we see and also those differences that we can't see! I encourage you to continue this discussion at home as well!
Drive-Thru Open House
New School Year!
Family Matters!
Ipads
In 2nd-5th grade, iPads will go back and forth every day. Please help your child to pack his/her ipad each day. Please help to have the ipad charged when you send it back to school as well. If they forget multiple times, they will be required to leave their ipad at school so that learning activities with the ipad can continue. Please ask if you have questions or concerns.

Birthday Treats
If you are planning to send a birthday treat with your son or daughter, please consider this as we will be unable to serve anything that is not so packaged by a store and individually wrapped. Please ask if you have questions or concerns.
