Whelan Uniform Ordering
We are also working with Old School Apparel to add a "Spirit Wear" section to their Whelan-specific online shop - stay tuned for more information about what that could look like!
Arrival at Front Circle
We are asking 1st Graders who arrive before 8:20 to line up:
- ON THE SIDEWALK to the right of the main entrance
- STARTING at the Flower Planter (see pic on the right above)
We are asking 2nd and 3rd Graders who arrive before 8:20 to line up:
- ON THE BRICKS to the left of the main entrance (see pick to the left above)
Our Staff Members who cover Arrival out front will open all doors, and will invite lines to enter AFTER they have doors open.
THANK YOU for your help with this!!!

Whelan Community Connections!
Whelan School Improvement Council
The School Improvement Council is a group of Family, Staff and Community members who come together monthly to explore the idea of improving the school experience for everybody - Families, Staff AND Students - here at Whelan.
The Council's work this year will focus on two things:
- Developing the "What's that at Whelan?" Glossary that will help families better understand different pieces of the Whelan School experience.
- Engaging Families in the work we have started to do as a Staff to revisit the Whelan Core Values.
We're hoping to have 3-4 Family members on the Council this year. If you are interested in this work, please use this form to share a little bit about yourself and why you're interested in the School Improvement Council.
Uniform Requests
Please use this Uniform Request Form if you are looking for gently-used uniforms for your Whelan students. We will do our best to fill requests as they come in, and will notify families when your requests are ready.
