Wasco Weekly

Wasco Families,

This month our school is focusing on the character trait of Respect and I have these exemplars to share:

1. Our classrooms take the time through the school year to acknowledge our staff in special ways, such as visiting the office and presenting Mrs. Thoke, office professional, with a banner to celebrate her birthday.

2. Our parents gathered together on Thursday to organize classroom teams who support school events during the school year.

Each of these groups, students and parents, set aside time and their own agendas to provide for others in our school community and demonstrate the respect and care we have for our Wasco Wolves’ Community!

Kind Regards,

Mrs. Stephanie Brennan

Principal, Wasco Elementary School

As a reminder, the code for accessing the report changes yearly and expires when school is out, so parents should download/print the reports as soon as possible after their students complete their diagnostics.

Families,

If your child is seen by the school nurse, and they can return to class, the student receives the following take home note to communicate their visit to you.

Each month Wasco School engages in read alouds and activities that support the learning of our different Monthly SEL themes.. At the end of each month, staff members are able to recognize students that demonstrate this trait in the classroom and across our building. These students receive a “Shout Out” on the morning announcements, a certificate of achievement as well as their photo taken for a bulletin board that hangs in our hallways. In the past, students have felt very proud of themselves and enjoy having their photo on the wall for all to see. Please share conversations with your child about the different SEL themes as they appear on our monthly calendar.

In August we spent time building our classroom communities and building feelings of belonging. There were no recognitions for this first month as we were busy establishing routines and structures that support our learning environments. Rest assured that BELONGING will be a focus for the entire year as it relates to our District Strategic Plan.

For the month of September we will be focusing on RESPECT. Respect means that we treat others the way we wish to be treated and to care about their thoughts, feelings and opinions. We can show respect through our words and actions. Thank you in advance for supporting our monthly Character Traits at home.
