WT Page Principal's Message
Dear Page Families,

1. Clocks Fall Back - Early Sunday morning the clocks were set back one hour. Don't forget!!
2. No School November 4th and 5th - Grading and Reporting Day - Monday, November 4th - On Monday there is no school for students so teachers can finalize report grade grades. This is the end of the first marking period. On Tuesday, November 5th it is Election Day and there is no school for students and staff.
3. Open House Monday, November 11th - During Open House, you are invited to shadow your child during select time slots. This year caregivers will need to pre-register for a time slot. The pre-registration link with the time slots will be sent out per grade level.
During Open House Page there will be a greeting table in the main lobby where your registration will be verified and caregivers will be given a visitor badge that must be visible on you during the time you are in the building.
Please remember that you will be in the classroom as an observer. If there is a further conversation you would like to have with your child’s teacher, contact them to set up a phone conference or meeting for a later date and time. Remember parent conferences are being held during the month of November.
