Message from Dr. Andrews

It is hard to believe we are already at the point in the year when we begin planning next year's class lists. We would like to explain our expectations for parent requests in class placement for the 2023-2024 school year.


  • Parents need to write a letter to Dr. Andrews by Friday, March 17th.
  • You may not request a teacher by name.
  • Please describe the learning style of your child and what type of teacher you feel best matches your child's learning style.
  • If there are other students you don't want your child placed with, you may request this. Please give the reason why these students shouldn't be placed together.


Letters can be given to the office in person or emailed to ryanandrews@wsdr4.org.

She takes the initiative and does extra things around the classroom that benefits everyone. We are very proud of her!


MTSS Update-

In February, classrooms participated in service projects that helped spread kindness in our community. Some classrooms performed acts around the school and others made cards to be delivered to deserving people.


Our February Scholars of the month for the 2022-2023 school year have been chosen. It is a High Honor to be chosen as a Peine Scholar. Only one Scholar is chosen each month per grade level. A Scholar is someone that is always giving their best effort academically and socially both inside and outside of the classroom.


Teachers have also been excitedly giving out House Points to the students for all sorts of exceptional behaviors. Reveur is currently in the lead but it is a tight race! Let’s keep those points coming!


Remember that every Friday is House Day! Wear your House colors to show your school spirit!

Summer Programming Change

This summer, the WSD will no longer offer Summer Journey and enrichment programming for K-8 students in order to allow the District to focus staffing needs on intervention programming and support academic achievement. Invite-only intervention programming will still be offered June 5-29 in a half-day, morning, Monday-Thursday format to students identified by our staff. Students who are invited to participate will receive an email from their teacher by March 6th.
