Message from the Principal
Dear Whittier Parents/Guardians,
Welcome back! We were all excited to see your students again and I think they were excited to come back!
We are excited to continue working hard and finishing strong. Please remember to support us with attendance to ensure the success of your student.
3-5th grade students will begin testing next week. Please make sure your child receives enough hours of sleep, is here in attendance everyday and all day. Please avoid any appointments that will pull your student out of school.
Lastly, I wanted to inform you that Mrs. Longely our health room clerical has accepted a new job outside the district. Her last day was Friday, March 22nd. Please help me welcome Ms. Madson to our Whittier family. She will be with us until the end of the school year.
Thank you for staying connected and engaged! Remind your student to read, read, read! :)
Mrs. DeLeón
STATE FORWARD EXAM- For ALL 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Students
Please be informed that the week of April 8th, we will begin our state FORWARD testing for all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.
Although tests like this do not define who our student are, it does begin to pave a pathway to their future. The results of this test also provide us information about your student that will allow us to better serve him/her exactly where they are on their educational journey.
During those 4 weeks of testing, please ensure your student is receiving enough hours of sleep, arriving to school on time and staying all day, everyday! Please avoid any doctors appointments during this time. Teachers will be sharing your students testing schedule via their classroom communication.
Thank you for your support!
