Wasco Weekly

Wasco Families,

Our calendar is filling up with many ways to share fun and friendship. Today is our PTO Family movie night and Holiday Shop. Over the next couple weeks, many of our students are performing their winter concerts, and our Wasco Choir is performing for Silver Glen Senior Center. Our scouting programs will be here at Wasco for their Winter events, and the culmination of our festivities is the 21st, when our All School Sing Along returns! We can look forward to great moments of fun and stories to tell!

Note: iReady Assessment finished today. Our office is working to prepare the reports and those will be mailed home next week. Once received, you can reach out to your child’s teacher to discuss progress.

Winter Celebration Schedule

All School Sing Along for students and staff 1:45-2:15

Winter Parties 2:15-3:00

Kind Regards,

Principal Stephanie Brennan

All our teams at Wasco are important and our Recess Lunch Staff has an important distinction: They are the only staff members who work with ALL the children of Wasco, each and every day! We are very fortunate to have many Recess Lunch Staff members who return every year and they ensure our lunch and recess areas follow our Wasco expectations! Kelly Nelms, Linn Garon, Kelly Yoos, Faiza Memon , Anny DeLaPaz, Jennifer Shuh, Rynell Simon, Heather Grendzinski

District 303 will send notifications to families through the ParentLink system by text message, phone call and email based on your settings. Parents/guardians can view and edit their contact settings through the Home Access Center.
To receive timely emergency communications, we strongly encourage families to enable text notifications. For most people, this is the fastest way to receive and view important messages. Here’s how:

• From the HAC main menu, select the “registration” tab to view your contact settings
• Select the “edit” button to change your contact settings
• To enable text message notifications, enter your cell phone number in the SMS/text message field
• Select the “save” button

Users can only update their child(ren) and personal contact information. You will not be able to make changes to another parent/guardian's contact information. For updates to emergency contact people, please reach out to the school directly.
