Message from the Principal
Dear Whittier Parents/Guardians,
Spring weather is definitely around the corner. During this week remind your student to continue practicing our 4 Whittier agreements; Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe and always Be a Learner!
Please limit technology and encourage your student to play outside, read, write, color/draw and do something that they LOVE! Fortnite and any video game all day does not help develop their social/interpersonal skills which are life long skills they will need to be successful.
Upon our return, we will be extremely focused and committed in helping your student reach their end of the year goal. Please continue highlighting the importance of education to your child and truly understanding it's the key to success!
Thank you for staying connected and engaged! Remind your student to read, read, read! :)
Mrs. DeLeĆ³n

Culver's Night
STATE FORWARD EXAM- For ALL 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Students
Please be informed that the week of April 8th, we will begin our state FORWARD testing for all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.
Although tests like this do not define who our student are, it does begin to pave a pathway to their future. The results of this test also provide us information about your student that will allow us to better serve him/her exactly where they are on their educational journey.
During those 4 weeks of testing, please ensure your student is receiving enough hours of sleep, arriving to school on time and staying all day, everyday! Please avoid any doctors appointments during this time. Teachers will be sharing your students testing schedule via their classroom communication.
Thank you for your support!
