Principal's Note
Hi Families:
As we make our way closer to winter break, I wanted to let you know that I am beyond grateful to be the principal of this amazing school and part of this community. I look forward to the short week and the return back in January. I am hopeful that 2021 will be less crazy than 2020!
Upcoming dates:
- Next week - Monday and Tuesday - full school days (No school Wed-Fri) *There will be no weekly newsletter on the 2 day week.
- **Tuesday**SPIRIT DAY** Tuesday is dress like your favorite Holiday Day at Whittier. It was voted by students! What does this mean? Think of any Holiday you love, be creative, and dress like it (4th of July, Valentine's Day, New Years, St. Patrick's Day, Your Birthday ... They ALL count!)
- Wednesday, December 23-January 3rd is winter break for all students (face to face and virtual)
- Return date back to school (face to face and virtual) is Monday, January 4th
COVID communication during break:
Please feel free to continue reaching out to me over the winter break via ClassDojo or email if you or your family have come into close contacts with a positive case of COVID. Stay safe!
Have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful winter break.
We are here to be your partner in education and we are honored to work with YOU and your children everyday!

The picture shows a book all of our classrooms will be reading sometime this month! This story celebrates our need to be aware of and comfortable with differences in others! It's called, Whoever you Are.
When we return in January, we will move into focusing on SELF CONTROL. I can't wait to for us to read our new book....We Don't Eat Our Classmates
