Message from the Principal
Dear Whittier Parents/Guardians,
Thank you for your continued support in ensuring your child is here learning EVERYDAY! Students and teachers alike are working hard in completing the MAP test and other assessments that guide teachers in supporting your child's academic growth. Please connect with your student about their hard work and don't forget to reach out to teachers if you have any questions about their learning here at Whittier.
Our district facility employees are working hard on salting all walkways and playgrounds. Thank you for your patience as they make their rounds to all our schools to ensure the safety of our students and families.
Thank you to all that participated in our spirit week this week and will be joining us this evening for our very first Family GAME Night! We hope to see you this evening from 4:30-6:00 pm.
Remember to stay connected and engaged in your child's educational journey! Remind your student to read, read, read! :)

Ever need help finding a local resource? Not sure where to turn to ask questions of where you can access various assistance for yourself and/or your family? This week the governor declared Monday as 2-1-1 day in Wisconsin. 2-1-1 is a central access point for people in need. This free, confidential helpline and online resource directory make it easy for residents to get connected to information and assistance. For resources in southeastern Wisconsin, simply dial 2-1-1 or access their website online for information.

- March Craft & Vendor Fair
Our 2nd annual Whittier craft and vendor fair is just a month away. This event will take place in the Whittier gym on March 9th from 9am-3pm. This year will be another awesome event! We have 28 crafters and vendors selling jewelry, hand crafted wooden signs, art, jam, honey, handmade clothing, pillows, housewares, essential oils, tupperware, adult and children's books, gourmet cotton candy, hair accessories, beauty and skin care products, kitchen and food products, and much more. There will also be kids activities, concessions, a raffle of items donated by each vendor and a booth by your very own Whittier students! This event is FREE to Whittier families and staff. A family voucher will be sent home as the event gets closer.
We will also be sending home flyers with each of your students. We are hoping you can help us spread the news of the craft fair to as many people as possible. We would love your help posting these flyers at churches, places of business, and community bulletin boards. Just make sure to ask permission before posting. Please mark your calendars and share this event with your friends. Thank you! Whittier Elementary Craft and Vendor Fair.
