News from the Nest
Dear Weaverville Elementary Families:
May is a busy, busy time! Be sure to read my notes below so that you can be in the "know" about everything happening at WvES!
Here are some important things to note for the coming weeks:
- I will be reaching out to families this week that owe lunch money. Please do your best to pay off your account before the end of the school year. Our school has a combined debt of $450.
- Yearbooks are on sale for $5. Cash or Check is accepted, and students can give money to their classroom teacher. We can't make change, so please bring $5 exactly.
If you'd like to donate $5 (or any amount) to pay for another student's yearbook, we will accept additional donations. We want every student to be able to get a yearbook this year.
We will give yearbooks to students the last week of school. They will have plenty of time to have friends and teachers sign their yearbook.
- Volunteer Proctor Training - End of Grade Assessments are coming up, and we need a few proctors. You can be a proctor if you have Level 2 Volunteer Status. Proctoring is simply monitoring the testing environment during an EOG. Proctors do not administer the test or even handle test materials. If you'd like to proctor, you must be available during Reading EOGs (Friday, May 26th from 8:00 - 11:30) and/or Math EOGs (Wednesday, May 31st from 8:00 - 11:30). Please email Mary Nichols (Mary.nichols@bcsemail.org) if you'd like to volunteer for this! Proctor training times are
- Monday, May 15th - 1:30 - 2:15 pm (Sign in at front desk)
- Friday, May 19th - 9:30 - 10:15 am (Sign in at front desk)
- 4th Grade Families: North Windy Ridge would like information about how your child will be getting to and from school next year. Please complete this form as soon as you can : North Windy Ridge Transportation Form for Rising 5th Grade Parents
- Learning Styles Form for Parents: As our staff start work on the class placement process for next year, I want to give every parent a chance to tell us what went well this year. I also want to hear how your child learns best. We are not able to honor parent requests for specific teachers, but we take a lot of time and give a lot of attention to the process of placing each individual student for next school year. We consider so many factors - academic strengths, needs, behavior, peer relationships, interests, etc. Here's your opportunity to be part of the process! Please complete this short form by Friday, May 19th:
- Title 1 Parent Engagement Survey: Weaverville Elementary School is a Title I School, and as the parent/guardian of a child attending a Title I School you are an important part of the Title I Team. Your input is vital in the planning and implementation of the parental involvement program and activities in our school. The following survey will be used to assist us with future planning for parental involvement activities and events at Weaverville Elementary School.
Thanks for all you do to support your child's success at school each day!
-Mary Nichols

Don't forget that our students, staff, and visitors have access to masks all day long. We have regular 3-ply masks and KN95 masks available. Masks are available in the front office, and we have reminders at hand-sanitizing stations that you can get a mask in the front office.
If a student requests a KN95 mask, we must have parent permission since it is considered a respirator. Parents must complete the Voluntary Respirator Use Form and sign and return. Here is a link to the form. If a student requests a KN95 mask, and we do not already have the form on file, we will email it to parent/guardians for you to sign.
