Please Support Our Student Council Fundraiser!
Beginning on Wednesday, August 30th and running through Wednesday, September 13th, all Whitney students are encouraged to participate in our fundraiser by selling frozen foods from the flyers coming home next Wednesday. Students can win fun prizes based on the number of items they sell. All proceeds from the fundraiser go back into our school to support various projects (special projects, provide materials and supplies, assemblies, etc.) All orders are due on September 13th. The merchandise will be delivered to school and available for pick up on October 12th between 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Membership information will come home with students this week. Please consider joining our fantastic PTA. There are so many ways to get involved and help.

IMPORTANT! Please read!
If you haven't already done so, PLEASE go into the PASS system and complete all the necessary contact information. We still are missing emergency contact information for many students. You can click here for a video that will show you how to do this.
Absence Calls and Pick-Ups!
2) If your child is going to be an "every day pick-up" or even an "every Monday (for instance) pick-up," please send a note to the office letting us know that that will be your child's routine. This will help us immensely to cut down on the number of phone calls coming into the office near the end of each day prior to dismissal.
