A Message From the Principal...
Owls,
We made it through conferences! What a pleasure it was to spend a little chunk of time with our parents checking in about our students.
One takeaway we have from conferences surrounds attendance. Although many students are doing well and thriving, we are having some severe issues with students arriving late to school, and therefore missing large percentages of their school hours every week. In addition, we have also seen an upward trend of absences that are NOT illness related, which is also of administrative concern for our students.
To aid in tackling the aforementioned issues, the district has partnered with a service to help address truancy in schools. Starting this week, WPS will be sending out letters informing you if your student has a high number of absences. It is crucial to your students success that they be in attendance—this includes being on time in the morning and limiting the number of times your student needs to be pulled out of school early!
We love being able to see, interact, teach and mentor your students each and every day! So if you receive a letter and have questions, please don’t hesitate to call the office and ask to speak with the principal or assistant principal.
Sincerely,
Mr. Warwick

Zoo-rific!; Primary Grades Musical
Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Moore's students will be participating!
WEDNESDAY; MARCH 9th at 5:30pm.
Ms. Grenham has provided some resources to help children practice at home. Please find attached a packet that was sent home with students sharing the script and how to get to the songs on Empower.
Please encourage them to practice at home on their chrome books!
Students should arrive around 5:15 so the show can start at 5:30. Students can wear costumes. They can be anything zoo related: animals from the songs, general zoo animals, zookeepers, etc. They can wear their school uniform and hold props if they do not bring their own costume.
Please let me know if you have any technical difficulties or any questions.
I'm so looking forward to the performance!
