New Parking Lot Plan is a SUCCESS!
Thank you to Matt & Ashely Goldsby, Michael Dunn and John Alexander for help in launching our new parking lot procedure! The process is working VERY well! We are able to have approximately 55 cars staged in the parking lot prior to the start of dismissal (3:45) The flow of the line once we began loading cars was smooth and we did not have ANY vehicles out on the shoulder of Oakley Park Road waiting to enter the parking lot! We loaded an average of 70 cars a day in about 12 minutes.
Given the improves to the parking lot/pick up process, we strongly encourage you to use Owl Pick Up! We understand some prefer to park and sign your child(ren) out (as it was sometimes faster prior to our changes in parking lot.) Given this weeks success, we hope you will enroll in Owl Pick Up. Call our office or email Mrs. Waling kimberlywaling@wlcsd.org
*If you sign your child out at the front of the building, PLEASE do not return to your vehicle and wait there for your child. For the safety of your child, you are asked remain near the front entrance for your child.

WLCSD Math Course Skipping Information
Dear Families,
Our current math standards are more rigorous and demanding than ever. Students are expected to develop a deep understanding of concepts leading to fluency with facts and procedures, and the ability to clearly communicate their mathematical thinking. Further, students must pass a demanding sequence of high school math courses in order to meet graduation requirements. In response to the increased expectations for all students, we have adjusted the content focus and instructional approaches in all of our math courses.
Because of the higher standards and to ensure student success at all points of their mathematical education, we are using the procedures described in the document linked below to accelerate students. In order to skip a course in the math sequence, students must demonstrate proficiency in the content and skills of the course they are attempting to skip.
The process and procedures described in the document linked below apply to all students currently in grades 2 through 7. Students attempting to test-out of high school courses will use the existing process described on the district website. Parents of students in kindergarten or first grade who have indications their child is possibly ready to skip a year of Mathematics should contact their building principal.
If you have questions after reviewing the process, please contact your building principal or me.
Thank you for your partnership in education.
Sincerely,
Ellen McDonald
Math/Science Coordinator
