HELP WANTED!

HELP WANTED!

I am looking for a parent to help us develop an app for the Chromebook that would allow us to track student feelings on the Mood Meter. Ideally, they would have their own Google login for the app, and then track their emotion at the start and end of a period of time. If you have that skill or know of a local company who could help us, please contact Tim Loversky at tim.loversky@d303.org.

Fire Update:

I want to update parents as to where we are with our fire investigation. We are still conducting our investigation and cannot comment on specifics. However, we have tightened our security and safety features in the building to prevent future issues. Safety is our first goal, and we continue to improve our practices to ensure student safety.

WMS Spotlight on Hunter Szatkowski!

WMS Spotlight on Hunter Szatkowski!

Hunter Szatkowski could not have been more excited to donate her hair, which will be used to make wigs for children undergoing cancer treatments.

With everyone's generous donations, Hunter raised $7,360.00 and the Cal’s Angels Just Shave It event brought in over $40,000.00!


We’re REALLY proud of Hunter and her caring heart! And that of all of our students who participated in Cal’s Angels Just Shave It event!
