Wasco Weekly
THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS ITS PACK
Wasco Families,
It seems like just yesterday that we were meeting our new teachers for the first time and getting to know our new classmates! But alas, our school year has come to a close, and we are already beginning to plan for the year ahead.
We are saying tearful goodbyes to some staff members who are retiring and leaving for new adventures. We are also welcoming some new teachers and teaching assistants. Our staffing plan for the next school year is listed below. There are changes to our building as enrollment currently dictates a plan of two Kindergarten sections and four fourth grade sections. I would like to introduce new staff members to Wasco. Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Brewick are transferring to Wasco from Thompson and Miss Clyde is new to our district. Our new teaching assistants will be Jennifer Selvick and Michele Robinson. We look forward to seeing your family at our Back to School event in August- details will come in July. In the meantime, have a healthy and safe summer filled with memories that last a lifetime!
Kind Regards,
Stephanie Brennan
Principal

How to Report Absences
Absences should be called in by 7:45 AM if your child will be absent for any portion of the day. The number is 331-228-2900 and has voicemail. You can call during the evening or overnight and leave a message. Please leave your child’s name and the reason why your child is out. If they are ill, please indicate their symptoms.
Even if you notify your child's teacher of an absence via email, we ask that you please still notify the office.
Also, if your child attends Baker Station, please remember to notify them if your child will not be attending.
Dismissal Plans
Families, If your child is not following their regular dismissal plan (riding the bus, picked up from school, or staying after for a program), would you please be sure to provide me with the information in a note? If you are emailing, please also include our school office staff candace.thoke@d303.org, so that information is shared in a timely manner. Informing us helps us ensure the safety of the kids.
Please refer to the following D303 School Board policies for more information:
