Walker-Winter Family Update
Great Futures Start Right Here!
Week of January 30, 2023
Hello!
As a school, we will focus on our P2 of Optimism. Optimism is when you expect the best from the future and youwork to achieve it. We look forward to reading, discussing, and watching video clips of Optimism this week. Each day, our K-5 teachers lead our students in class meetings with a focus on our Positivity Project focus of the week. The office, specials, support staff, and lunch use our P2 language so our students and staff have a common focus and language. 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.

Reminders
New App
Download our updated District App. It is user friendly and has everything school/resource related in one spot!
Absence letters
Attendance is extremely important to your child’s education.
When a student reaches 5, 10, and then 15 absences, and/or tardies, our school (consistent district-wide) will contact families through letters. Excused and unexcused absences count.
We do understand and work together if there are unusual family situations that have been reported to the school by parents/guardians. Communication is key.
Parents/guardians who fail to communicate with the school and make efforts to have consistent timely attendance will be reported for truancy.
Need to pick your child up early for an appointment?
Parents, please come to the office by 3:30. The end of the day is extremely busy and makes it difficult to have your child ready. Thank you.

Please reach out to me on Class Dojo or email as needed. Building and maintaining family relationships is crucial. It is important to me that, along with your child(ren), you create fond memories of school.
I am proud to be a part of this amazing Walker community.
