These past few weeks have been wonderful at Walker. Thank you for all the support as the school community transitions with new leadership. As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
The focus for the remainder of the year will be building school spirit. Students will be recognized more often with whole school assemblies, and demonstrating kindness will be emphasized. We are excited to see a positive change at Walker!
Spring break is here! Please enjoy this time with your family.
Warm Regards,
Mr. Jeff Moore

Notes From the Nurse
Hearing and vision screenings were completed in November 2022. If your child did not pass their hearing and/or vision screening, a referral was sent home via mail and with your child for a follow up exam with the appropriate physician. Please return all hearing and/or eye exams to the health office as soon as possible. It is important to rule out and hearing and vision concerns to ensure your child is able to access the curriculum to the best of their ability.
