Principal Message
Greeting!
1. Our Harvest Festival was amazing!! KUDOS to Mr. Renes, Mrs. Lovejoy and our WONDERFUL PTO for preparing for and organizing this great event for our families!
2. Please be sure to sign up for parent/teacher conferences!
3. As soon as we get everyone signed up for conferences, we will share our building plans for Halloween!
4. I would like to reiterate the importance of honoring student safety before school. Staff are on duty at 8:20, which is when the first bell rings. Students who arrive to school before this time, who are not in SPARK, are not supervised. This is resulting in some big safety concerns. We are having many conversations at school about expectations outside of the building If you could support those conversations, we would really appreciate it.
- Please demonstrate ROAR, even if no one is looking!
- Hands to self at all times.
- Stand in line at the door waiting for the bell to ring.
- Specifically in the back: do not hide under the trees, do not run around on the back field, do not run into the parking lot.
Thank you!
5. Have a wonderful weekend with your families! Go Big Red! Go Chiefs!
The Book Fair at Willowdale!
Partners 4 Education
Proceeds from our Partners 4 Education and other family nights help fray costs for teachers/classrooms and help supplement funds that are not covered for field trips.
Willowdale teachers, staff and students appreciate all of the support from our families and Partners.
