Western's End-of-Month PBIS Celebration: Giant Tic-Tac-Toe!
This past Friday, our students came together as a community during our end-of-month PBIS celebration of life-sized tic-tac-toe! In order to attend, students needed to earn 15 Wolfpack tickets for the month of February. Students and teachers raced one another to complete three letters in a row. What a blast! A very special thank you to Mrs. Kubas and Mr. Hood for planning our event. We love our PBIS Celebrations! Go Wolves!

Attendance Certificates
We are excited to recognize so many students for perfect attendance! However, at the same time, we also want to remind families that if your child is sick, please make sure that they stay home from school until they are well. It is quite easy to spread germs if your child is coming to school and they are not well.
We want to make sure that our students are healthy and ready to learn when they are in school. Thank you for your support and cooperation!
Extra Socks and Pants
The children love recess, and we try to send them outdoors whenever it is warm enough to do so. The movement does help everyone focus more for the afternoon, and we just want to make sure the children and dry and comfortable. Thank you!

Traffic Flow at Arrival and Dismissal
Parents, we understand that everyone is rushing to get their days started in the morning. However, we need to do a better job driving safely in the drop-off and pick-up lines. We have three staff members directing traffic at the front lot, two staff members posted at door I (primary playground), and multiple people posted at the playgrounds and blacktop area between the playgrounds. We also have one person stationed in the North parking lot. Please remember that there is a traffic flow. Students must be dropped off in the designated car lines. Please do not drop off your children on any other street or sidewalk other than the designated lines. Please do not wait in line to make sure your child walks to the door because that stops the flow for other parents behind you. And please be very mindful when you are pulling away from the car line. There should only be one priority for morning drop off and afternoon pick up--and that priority is the safety of all our kids at Western Avenue. If we all work together, we can ensure the safety of all students. Thank you!
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!
