(Reminder) Apple and SMART Watches at WES!
Apple and SMART Watches can be used in the same way a cell phone is used: Students can search the internet, send and receive text messages, and even make phone calls.
Apple and SMART Watches are treated the same as cell phones per our Elementary Handbook policy: "Cell phones and/or other electronic devises may not be used in any manner that will cause disruption to the educational environment."
Our daily goal is to be able to provide our WES Students with the absolute best education possible, and we do so by helping ensure that cell phones and SMART watches are placed in backpacks to help avoid any unnecessary distractions.
We appreciate you partnering with us to ensure the best educational environment for our students!

(REMINDER) ATTENDANCE AT WES!
Over half of the school year is in the books, which means we are sledding down the hill quickly toward the end of the year.
As a reminder, attendance at school is CRITICAL to a child's academic and social success: Missing even two days a month can accumulate quickly to 20 days out of school.
If your child(ren) must miss school, please communicate those absences to Mrs. Harasewicz, and also your child's classroom teacher.

Construction at WES!
You may have heard that WES is going to have some construction happening this year, and that is indeed correct!
WES is looking to improve various areas of our building, starting with new heating and cooling systems in our classrooms! Construction will not happen before the first day of school, but will happen throughout the upcoming school year.
But don't worry! Classrooms will be moved around so that there will be no students or staff in classrooms where work is being done.
JGSC is finalizing the construction bidding process, and once that happens, I will be able to provide more details on (1) when construction will start and (2) what rooms will be affected during certain times.
More details coming soon!

Dr. Fuller's Thoughts!
What's standing in the way of you achieving your dreams?
For most, it's quite simple...fear.
Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of not being accepted, etc.
Fear.
Sometimes it's the fear of people telling you something can't be done simply because it's never been done before.
That's where Roger Bannister comes in.
For those who don't know the story of Roger Bannister, he is the first person to run a mile in under four minutes: He accomplished this on May 6, 1954.
For 70 years, no one could run the mile in under four minutes...athletes, scientists, EVERYONE said it couldn't be done.
And it wasn't.
Until Roger Bannister.
After Roger ran the four minute mile in 1954, seven more people accomplished the four minute mile that year.
Since his fateful run, THOUSANDS of people have accomplished the four minute mile.
How is that possible?
The only reason that makes sense is that people now believed it was possible.
We too often limit ourselves to what we know. We say anything is possible, but until we KNOW that it's possible, it's difficult to take that leap.
Roger took that leap and accomplished something that had never been done before. He didn't magically make people run faster, but he opened the minds of individuals to let them know that it CAN be accomplished.
Just because someone hasn't done it before doesn't mean it can't be done :)
