Hope everyone had a great weekend. Hard to believe that the first week of school is over! Let us know how things are going and if there is any way we can help with you family's transition to the new school year.
Here are some important notes for this coming school week.
1. Reminder: PTN sponsored Ice Cream Social tomorrow evening - beginning at 6:00pm. Ice cream will be served out of the cafeteria window. Come and enjoy meeting families and students as we start this school year. We will have information regarding our PTN meetings and events. (Students must be accompanied by an adult for this event)
2. The Lunch menu for September will be published as soon as we receive it from the Harwood Food Service.
3. No school on Friday September 4th. This is our first WWSU inservice - the speaker and workshops for teachers will be lead by Katie Novak.
