100th Day Fun!
Happy Valentine's Day!
By now, you should have been asked for some midyear feedback from your teacher(s). Each grade level asked different questions in order to focus on their specific work. I hope you took advantage of this opportunity because the information is being used to guide team reflection and, in some cases, work to enhance processes and procedures. If there is more you would like to share about your experience, you are more than welcome to reach out to your teacher or me (nwheeler@wcasd.net) at any point. Our end of year surveys are great but do not afford us the chance to make a change or address a concern if there is one.
GOTR & STRIDE
We hope to have a team for Girls on the Run (GOTR) and STRIDE this Spring. We have parent volunteers for GOTR but none yet for STRIDE. Please reach out to Mr. Walter (rwalter@wcasd.net) if you are interested. We are still working on the schedule, which includes practice after school two days a week. The YMCA recently emailed parents about registering for the program.
