Principal's Note
Hi Families:
I know that we are all getting tired of all things COVID... but it's not over! We need to continue working together to stay safe. This means keeping masks on at all times when not eating or drinking and continuing with hand-washing and use of hand sanitizer. Doing this will help us keep our doors open and students in school. If you have questions about safety measures in the school, please email, dojo, or call with questions.
We are here to be your partner in education and we are honored to work with YOU and your children everyday!

STEM Challenge!
February is Black History Month
Kindergarten celebrates 100 days of school!
Family Math Help Site!
The School District of Waukesha is committed to working to improve math instruction for students. We strive to create future mathematicians who are creative problem solvers, persevere in new situations, and collaborate with peers.
To help with this, the district's math instructional team has created a Family Math Help Site to support families and give them a glimpse into their child's mathematics experience in the SDW. The site provides resources such as:
Basic Fact Strategies
Computational Fluency Strategies
Vocabulary Words
iPad Friendly Sites
Family Letters for each Unit
Learning Math Facts at Home
The SDW Math Continuum
A detailed description of The Math Workshop
7 ways you can help your child at home
Check it out and let us know if you have any questions!
Monthly Characteristic!
The picture shows a book all of our classrooms will be reading sometime this month! This book is about accepting yourself and others just the way they (and you) are!
You can support at home by talking about differences and similarities in the family - likes and dislikes - what things do you have in common with each other and what things are different?
