Walker-Winter Family Update
Great Futures Start Right Here!
Week of April 24, 2023
Hello!
As a school, we will focus on our P2 of Humor. Humor is when you like to laugh and bring smiles to other people without using Put-Downs. We look forward to reading, discussing, and watching video clips of Humor. For more details, please click on Positivity Project for Families Go to Resources then P2 for families or P2 para familias en espanol. Password is P2. Read about ways that your family can support this at home.
We need more parents to fill out our Walker Parent Survey. Each school has their own link. You will find the link below. If you are unsure of an answer, please click 3 or Neutral. This will guide our school improvement team as we communicate to families.

Early Pick-Up Reminder
The office staff will call your child to the office once you (adult pick up person) checks in at the office. To ensure that your child continues to learn in the classroom, we do not call students down early to wait.
As you arrive at the end of the day, If you arrive early, please do not go to the playground. we have recess up to 3:50. For safety purposes, our staff is trained to look for adults who are not part of our staff. Thank you for helping us with this.
