Wasco Weekly

Wasco Families,

Our Wasco community is preparing for our yearly tradition of honoring Veterans on November 11th. Do you know a veteran or military service member? If so, your family is invited to share thier Veteran’s history in our all school Veteran Slideshow. Please click the link below for the process. Also, you are welcome to invite a friend, neighbor, or family member who is or has served in our Armed Forces to our Veteran’s Day Assembly on Monday, November 11th at 1:50. We would be honored if they would like to attend our ceremony, so we could show our appreciation for their service in person! Details for sign up are in the link below. All Veteran form submissions are due on/by Nov. 6.

Kind Regards,

Mrs. Stephanie Brennan

On the 31st, Wasco’s Fall Celebration will begin with a costume parade starting at 2:15. The parties will be from 2:40-3:20. Families are invited to view the parade from the blacktop and a map is linked here. Also, I have provided a parking guide, you may want to arrive a few minutes early. Please do not park on Old LaFox Road, as that is a safety hazard.

• Students will bring their costumes and change in the afternoon. Costumes should be school appropriate and should not portray gore, blood, weapons. Revealing costumes and full face masks are not appropriate. Parade Site Plan

PTO has partnered with teachers to provide Buying Day for our students this year. This has been a bit of a learning curve as we work to get parent volunteers signed up and fingerprinted. Thank you to all of the parents that have helped out already and for those that are in the process of becoming a volunteer. We couldn’t do it without you! Above are a few of the experiences that students have chosen to spend their Wasco Bucks on: Photo with a Teacher, and SSI Assistant for the Day. Many more fun experiences were purchased last week, so stay tuned for more pictures! Thank you to all of the parents who support our “Paws”itive Reinforcement System by having conversations with your students about upholding the Wasco Expectations. It takes a village!

Last Wednesday, we welcomed the GO BIG BMX Air Show to our school for an exciting performance by Mike and Bill. They did bike stunts that wowed the crowd and shared messages of: Following your dreams, perseverance, and how to stand up to bullying. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the students were awesome! Thank you to our fabulous PTO for partnering with our SEL Team to coordinate this special event for our school community!

Anything look familier? We have so many sweatshirts and coats! Please stop by anytime to take a look.

District 303 is proud to partner with the Glenbard Parent Series (GPS) to offer our families broader access to information sessions and resources that support their child’s development.

For decades, GPS has been offering free programs that aim to empower and strengthen families, individuals and communities. As a partner organization, District 303 will support promoting upcoming programs and their importance to our local community.
