Love them First
As we take time today to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., it's important that we recognize the progress that has been made, while understanding that we a long road ahead to ensure ALL of our students have the same opportunities to achieve. I chose the quote: "The time is always right to do what is right." I believe at the surface, we all believe what we are doing is right. I challenge myself and ask, "Is what I'm doing enough?" I know I need to do more for certain students to ensure they are getting what they need. Equity is not Equality. I see this passion in our staff everyday, and ask that we continue this work with courage, commitment, and love!

WJH Choir & Jazz Band Performance
The WJH Band will perform for gr. 4, 5 & 6 on Monday, January 27, from 9:30 – 10:00 in the gym. Other classrooms and grade levels are more than welcome to attend. If you plan on attending, please let me know.
The goal is to try our best to schedule performances like this on Zero Days, but in this case the WJH group is making stops at other schools as well.
Spring Conferences
Conferences are around the corner. The dates are:
· Thursday, February 13 - 11:00am -7:00 pm
· Friday, February 14 - 8:00am - 4:00 pm
Please keep a few things in mind as we approach conferences:
- To ensure consistency across the building, please don't schedule conference times outside of the times above. Many times families try to schedule alternative times due to vacations. If this is the case, you can offer a phone conference to discuss student progress.
-Each student is allotted ONE conference time. Split families will occasionally ask for two conferences. Consistency is important in both of these areas.
-Please schedule your lunch and dinner breaks at the appropriate times. Connie will send out the link for you to reserve your lunch and break times.
