The Final Strech!
Walker Families!
We have made it! The final couple weeks of school is upon us. Thank you for all of your support throughout this school year. I have enjoyed my time here at Walker, building relationships with you and your students, supporting teachers and staff members, and becoming part of the community. Thank you for all the kindness this week as you brought items of appreciation for your child's teacher. I have seen many smiling faces throughout Walker this week, I appreciate you playing a major role in that.
Below you will find calendar events for the remainder of the year. You will also find information regarding our school registration process. If you have any questions, please contact the office.
Thank You.
Mr. Jeff Moore, Interim Principal

Message from Our Nurse, Mrs. Vazquez
Registration packets for the 23-24 school year for all incoming second graders were sent home before spring break and will again be sent home in May. Please remember to make an appointment for your student's dental exam that is required for second grade.
If your student has asthma, seizures and/or food allergies, please remember to turn in an updated action plan for the 23-24 school year. Forms can be found on the district website, or the nurse can send home forms if requested.
If a hearing and/or vision referral was sent home with your student, please return all completed exams to the health office as soon as possible. It is important to rule out any hearing and vision concerns to ensure your child is able to access the curriculum to the best of their ability.
All student health forms can be turned into the health office.
Thank you for your time and cooperation!
Warm Regards,
Mr. Jeff Moore, Interim Principal
