Seeking Teacher of the Year nominations!
The Walled Lake Consolidated Schools are again participating in a program to honor exemplary teachers. We hope you will join us in an effort that will result in the selection of the TEACHER/EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR for the Walled Lake Consolidated School District at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. This honor will be bestowed at our January 11, 20178 school board meeting.
Each school building will select a teacher of the year and that person’s name will be submitted to the district committee for final selection. All names will be removed from the forms and only the building principal will have knowledge of the candidate’s name. The principal will appoint a committee to help with the local selection. That person’s name will then be submitted to the district committee. We are requesting that this form be returned to your school NO LATER THAN MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2017.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any FULL TIME, CERTIFIED, TENURED teacher/educator who spends 50% of his/her time in a classroom. Nominees must have a minimum of five (5) full years of classroom teaching experience
WHO MAY NOMINATE?
Any person in the community may nominate any teacher/educator in the district for this honor. Please send or deliver this form to the nominee’s school.
HOW TO SUBMIT A NOMINATION FORM

Invisible Dad Program at Oakley Park
Every Child Deserves Lunch!
Hunger has many faces. In the United States, 2 out of 10 children suffer from a form of hunger that is not readily portrayed in the media but it is also a kind of hunger that we can put an end to right here in our own communities. This kind of hunger is called Food Insecurity and it takes the form of children being forced to skip meals, eating cheap unhealthy snacks to fill their stomachs between “meals”.
In Walled Lake Schools, the 12 WL elementary schools have adopted the Invisible Dad program which entitles all children to a school lunch, even if a student’s lunch account does not have money in it. Invisible Dad accounts have been set up at our schools to cover lunch for children whose parents have forgotten, are unable, or for whatever reason have not kept their account up-to-date. Parents receive a confidential notification that their child has accessed the Invisible Dad account and they are given an opportunity to update the account, complete a Free and Reduced Lunch form or to talk to a school administrator.
For more information on the Invisible Dad Program, visit the program's webpage.
TO DONATE: Please make a check out to Walled Lake Food Service with Oakley Park: Invisible Dad in the “memo” line.Safe Halloween Snack List
Here is the 2017 Halloween Edition snack guide provided by https://snacksafely.com. This link offers a "How to Guide” that includes a legend that helps understand the list. This is a great resource for all families as we plan for a safe Halloween for all students. The list includes commonly available foods free of peanuts and tree nuts (as well as many the top 8 allergens that pose life threaten risks to students.)
