Many exciting things happening at Wanamaker Elementary this Fall. We are looking forward to our Veteran's Day assembly, our annual Thanksgiving Lunch, and being able to spend some time with friends and family during our break. During November, we focus on thankfulness as our character pillar. We are thankful for the supportive families we have at Wanamaker Elementary. When we can work together, it makes our jobs so much easier, and benefits your children as well! So THANK YOU!

We are looking forward to this meaningful opportunity for students and staff alike!

We are asking for all ticket orders to be in my Friday, November 10. We will not be able to sell any tickets on the day of the event to ensure we have enough food prepared.

Thank you all for your attendance at Parent Teacher Conferences. It is always good to see engaged parents in the building and we always love to have conversations about your children! We will have a second Parent Teacher Conference in the winter during February. Also, thank you to everyone who brought drinks in for staff to enjoy during conferences. It is always so nice to be able to grab something to drink between conferences. We apprciate your support!

Our first early release day is Wednesday, November 8. Please take note of the new time for Early Release! So that teachers have a longer time to collaborate, early release will take place at 2:15. You can expect buses to arrive home around 1.5 hours earlier that usual. This time is valuable to teachers to have time to work and plan together as a team!

We had a great time in October focusing on Respect. We were able to recognize many students who were being super respectful! During the month of November, we will be focusing on Thankfulness/Gratefulness as a school.

If you are dropping students off in the morning, or picking them up in the afternoon, we appreciate you following the procedure below. Please go through the car rider line where adults are waiting to help supervise your children going into the building. Thank you so much for your assistance with this!
