Whelan Weekend Update
Friday, 9.30.22
Friday, September 30, 2022
Happy Friday everybody…can you believe October is RIGHT around the corner?!?
As you can see, we’re trying a new format for sharing the Weekend Update - this platform is called “Smore” and offers readers the ability to choose languages to translate the content into! (Here’s how to do that on a computer, and here's how to do it on your phone!)
Many of this week’s “updates” are recycled from last week (including the link to our feedback survey that will help us plan for the “Whelan Welcomes” that will launch next month!).
Uniforms!
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.
Multi-Cultural Night!
Every building in the district has staff members who serve as Equity Coordinators - they lead work both at the district and building levels that focuses on cultivating equitable school experiences for all students and families. The Whelan Equity Team is focusing this year on connections, and with that in mind we’ve begun planning for a Multi-Cultural Night event where kids, families and staff members can come together here at school to share and learn about each other! We don’t yet have a date, but will share more information soon about when this event is and how you can be involved!
Whelan Welcomes!
Our Leadership team is looking to connect with families in new and better ways this year, and one idea that we’d like to try is consistent “Whelan Welcomes” where we invite family members to come join us here at the school to offer feedback, learn about our school, and help us plan for the future. These get-togethers would give us opportunities to gather feedback from families AND be chances for us to share information that can help you better understand your child’s school experience. With that in mind, please use this form to share any questions you have about Whelan and your child’s experience here - your responses will help us plan for these “Whelan Welcomes” (which we hope to start in October!).
Twitter!
One of my goals this year is to use my Twitter feed to provide more of a lens into classroom experiences. You can follow me at https://twitter.com/WhelanPrincipal
