It’s that time of year again, and Destination​ ​ImagiNation​ is looking for responsible kids with creative minds, great problem solving skills, and great team working abilities! ​ ​Destination ImagiNation​ is a community-based, school-friendly program that builds participants’ creativity, problem solving, and teamwork in enjoyable and meaningful ways. It is a wonderful program that allows teams of five to seven children to work together on long-term challenges and participate (K-2nd) or compete (3rd-5th) against other schools in the Austin and surrounding area.

Participating in Destination​ ​ImagiNation​ involves a long term commitment and team responsibilities that lead through to the final competition in early March 2018. Becoming a team player involves meeting at least once a week after school for a few hours, purchasing a minimal amount of supplies, and lots of dedication and teamwork. ​

​Each​ ​team​ ​will​ ​also​ ​need​ ​a​ ​coach to​ ​help​ ​organize​ ​and​ ​supervise​ ​the​ ​team​ ​from​ ​now​ ​until​ ​the​ ​competition.​ ​ ​We cannot​ ​do​ ​this​ ​without​ ​committed​ ​parents​ ​willing​ ​to​ ​coach! If you are interested in allowing your child to participate in Destination​ ​ImagiNation​ ​and would like more information on the program, please visit the website for a more detailed explanation.

If your child chooses to participate this year, fill out the form found in the Tuesday Folder today and return it to Ms. Macintyre at WCHE by October 13. Your completed form may also be dropped off in the Front Office or given to your child's classroom teacher.

The Apex Fun Run is an interactive leadership program that helps schools all over the country to raise money, while promoting leadership, good character, and fitness. This year's theme is UNITED!

It is important to remember that schools are required to exclude students with certain illnesses from school for periods of time as identified in state rules. For example, if your child has a fever over 100 degrees, he or she must stay out of school until fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications. In addition, students with vomiting or diarrheal illnesses must stay home until they no longer are vomiting or have diarrhea (without the use of medications) for at least 24 hours.

Students with bacterial pink-eye must be treated with antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school. Consult with your physician for information about how long to keep students home from school for other illnesses.

If your child is diagnosed with a communicable illness such as flu, strep throat, pink-eye, chicken pox, staph/MRSA infection, any reportable illness, or any vaccine-preventable illness, please let your school nurse know.
