ART TO REMEMBER
This semester, our school is participating in a unique fundraising program with Art to Remember that gives you the opportunity to purchase keepsake items with your child's artwork on them. The best part is that every keepsake order supports our school. Last week your child brought home a flyer with a unique online ordering code. Just head to ArtToRemember.com and search for your child’s name, enter their online order code, or upload artwork from home and start shopping! Please contact Miss Tara at artwithmstara@gmail.com with any questions.
IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
If you need to report your student's absence you need to contact our attendance clerk, Maritza, with the reason for their absence. There are several ways to do this that are the most efficient ways: email: Mpisik@wpusd.org with your student's name and reason for absence (if they are sick you need to let us know what their symptoms are and for how long they have had them), respond to the email attendance alert via Parent Square OR the TBE app, or you can call the attendance message line directly at 916-434-5210. We have a very busy front office so if you could report your absence one of the ways above it would greatly help free up the phone lines for those needing to call. It's always a good idea to send a quick email to the teachers as well so they are aware of the absence.
For those students who are out sick: if they are going to be absent more than 2-3 days due to illness, please let us know so we can have you sign an "Independent Study" so the teacher can give them their class work so they don't get behind while they are absent.
