Shenanigans....
Next week is Spirit Week:
Monday- Mix and Match
Tuesday- Super Hero day
Wednesday- Sports Day
Thursday- Willow Wear or navy and red
Friday- Pajama Day
The warm weather has made the Willow playground and basketball hoop a busy place after school. The majority of the kids we have seen are older and not necessarily following the Willow Way: Be Safe, Be caring, Be Ready. If you witness anything of concern, please notify the police if serious or the office if more general. Motorized bikes are not allowed on school property at any time. We want to make sure the playground continues to be a fun place for our wildcats and their families after the school day is done!
Over Spring Break, the Homewood Police will be doing practice drills at Willow. These will take place on March 28 and March 30, during the day and into the evening. These are days you may want to consider alternate places to play.
Registration for all District 153 students starts on April 11th. It will again be online. Please register as soon as you are able. This helps us plan sections and order supplies for next year.
Future wildcats:
If you have a student who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2022, he/she is ready to start Kindergarten. Please use this link to let us know you will be joining the Willow family. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=sePsXjEIeEq5by6y2Nbz5whAjRgeUXpBit6yhPKoUNJUQk5FNDRCTTZLT0RLWkJZVkJCWDc0RFM0Ui4u
Since we are unable to have Kindergarten Orientation in person, the staff created a video to tell you more about our program and the expectations. The nurse and I will also be here the evening of Thursday, April 7th, until 6:30 PM if you'd like to stop in and pick up a Kindergarten information folder or have any questions specifically for the nurse ( allergies, immunizations, etc.) Kindergarten information folders will be available in the Willow Office beginning April 4th. See the video here:
