Breakfast is FREE for all students from 7:30am-8:00am. Please remember if your child is needing to eat breakfast at school they need to be here early enough to make it up to their classroom by 8:00 A.M. Kindergarten does officially start at 8:00 A.M. and students will begin to be marked tardy if they are coming up late from breakfast. Thank you for your assistance and effort in helping the students be up to their classrooms to get their days started on time.

Hello, and welcome to a new school year! My name is Marya Helget and I am the Health Assistant here at WLC. I am looking forward to meeting students and attending to any medical needs that they may have. Here are a few reminders to start off the school year.

• Please make sure that special health needs have been communicated to the school.

• Please ensure that if your child has medication at school the proper forms have been turned in.

• Please check that immunizations are up to date or the appropriate forms are filled out.

If throughout the school year you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.

• I have been a kindergarten teacher for 20 + years.

My name is Mrs. Janel Sasser.

I have been teaching for 29 years.

I love exploring and learning along side my kindergarten students.

My husband Michael and I have 4 children.

Mikayla (28); Brooke (25); Cole (23); and Carson (20).

I love reading, collecting seashells off the beach, gardening, walking my dog Ruby, and snuggling with my cat named Azul.

I am looking forward to watching my students grow both academically and socially during the 2022-2023 school year.

Greeting my name is Ms. Hoek. The students see me for library and technology each week. I also work on the intervention team at WLC. This is my 21st year at New Ulm Public Schools and my third year at WLC.

This month the students were able to check out their first school library books. They learned about taking care of their library books and returning them each week. By the end of this month, students will be able to check out two books each week. During storytime this month, they will hear tales of sharks, bookworms, football, hedgehogs, and apples.

The students come once a week for technology. EPIC will be the first app they learn how to use on iPads. Epic reads them stories that they choose or I assign. SeeSaw is the second app they will learn how to use. Their first SeeSaw activity will be a library scavenger hunt. Look for their finished project on your family SeeSaw account later this month.

My name is Officer Andrew Achman and I am the School Resource Officer or SRO. I have

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
