Weekly Wrap-Up #36

Can you believe that we are down to under 20 school days until the last day of school? This year has flown by and we are getting down to the last few weeks where our days will be full of fun and exciting activities. Last week we saw our 3rd grade classes visit Whittemore Nature Preserve for a field trip where they learned about the local ecosystem and the creatures that inhabit it. Students were able to see the wildlife up close and personal through a variety of activities around the preserve. Additionally, our Kindergarten classes had their end of the year musical performances. Mrs. Postigo has been hard at work preparing our little ones so they could put on a musical performance to show their parents all the wonderful things they have learned so far. There were lots of smiles all around as the children sung many songs showing of their musical talents.

Attention parents of our incoming Kindergarten students, if you have registered your child for kindergarten, we will be holding our Kindergarten Roundup on Monday & Tuesday, June 5th & 6th. The roundup will last approximately an hour and fifteen minutes. There will be two session, one at 8:30 and another at 10:30. During this time, the incoming students will participate in a variety of activities with our Kindergarten staff. These activities help us to learn more about them as students and individuals.

While the students are off having fun with their teachers, the parents will be meeting with Mr. Perruso, Mr. Serfozo, Mrs. McCool, and Nurse Ewer so that we can provide you with an overview of Kindergarten and additional information you may need as your child embarks on his/her journey into education! We are looking forward to seeing you.

The Sign Up Genius link was emailed to all who have registered their child for the upcoming school year. If you did not receive an email, please contact Mrs. Deanna Dargel (ddargel@wtschools.org) for help.

The next step of integration is we now exclusively use PickUp Patrol for recording your child's absences. Please click here to review how to use the program to record absences.

The absence line which was previously used to record absences has now been disconnected.

Our secretaries and nurse are no longer checking phone messages for absences. This information is now handled exclusively through the PickUp Patrol app. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to integrate this new attendance management system.
