WES' Weekly Principal's Message 9-3-24

Good afternoon Wonderful Wakefield Eagle Families!  This is Principal Keech, with this week's announcements.  A copy of this transcript will be shared with our PTA and posted on our website under the Principal's Messages tab.

 

First Day for the entire WES Kindergarten:

Today was the first day for ALL of our Eagle Kindergartners.  We saw lots of smiling faces and excitement.  The children walked in here today ready to learn and were already making friends. We are so thrilled to see all that they will do this year!

 

* Beginning tomorrow, we will be asking all parents to stop at our front door communication speaker for access to our campus.  Whereas, we want our families to be involved and present for their children, we also need to maintain safety and security.  Thank you for your understanding and support ahead of time.

 

 

Opening day information and Parent Handbook:

Please make sure that you have reviewed our Opening Letter located in the Principal's Message from last week and the WCPSS Parent Handbook.  

 

 

Open House/Dinner on The Lawn /Curriculum Night:

Our Open House/Dinner on the Lawn/Curriculum Night is next Tuesday, Sept. 10th from 5-7!  Hope to see you all there!

 

 

September is School Attendance Awareness Month:

September is Attendance Awareness Month! Did you know missing just 10% of the school year (18 days, excused OR unexcused) can lead to academic struggles? Getting into the habit of daily attendance is more important than ever. It helps to reduce stress, make it easier to connect with friends and teachers & supports learning.

We are working to make our school environment a place where everyone can be safe, healthy and learning. We will do our best to listen and partner with you so that our children have a successful year. If you have questions or concerns about getting your child to school, please contact our School Social Worker, Mrs. Bagley.
