Wheaton Elementary Update

Dear Families,

We are nearing the end of first quarter and things are going great in the elementary.

Parent Teacher Conferences- Don't forget, Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up! Be sure to sign up for a time with your child's teacher. Conferences are set to be held the week of October 19th. We will be doing all conferences virtually this year due to Covid. Thank you for being flexible with us during this time as we try something new with conferences. It is important that we get to speak with you about all the great things that are going on with your child at school.

Halloween Parties- This will look different this year due to Covid-19. Your child's teacher will be collecting money to purchase items for the Halloween Party. We will not be taking any items sent in by students. Your child may bring their school-appropriate costume to school and will be able to change into their costume before the party. Unfortunately, we will not be having a Halloween Parade this year.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Your Partner in Education,

Mrs. McFall
