Greetings from Mr. Kueker
As we begin another school year at Western Trails, we want to extend a warm welcome to both our returning students and families, as well as our new families and students. We are thrilled to have you all here with us and we can't wait to see what this year will bring.
At Western Trails, our 2024-2025 theme is, "Sea the Potential." This means that we encourage our students to take risks, to try new things, never be afraid of failure and believe in themselves. We know that every student has the potential to achieve greatness and we are here to support them every step of the way.
As we embark on this new school year together, we encourage you to embrace all that Western Trails has to offer. Let's work together to make this year the best one yet!
We have some new staff that I am excited to introduce:
First grade co-teachers Karen Anagnostopoulos and Anna Omahen
IC Paraprofessional Sally Curran
Lunch supervisor Venjie Adao
We are still in need of lunchroom supervisors. If you are interested, or you know someone that is, please visit our district website by clicking HERE to review information and apply.
We have an amazing PTA that supports our students, staff and community. If you would like to join PTA or would like more information, please visit their website by clicking HERE. If you would like to stock up on spirit wear, the Western Trails spirit wear store is active. Click HERE to check out the awesome items available. PTA information and/or representatives will be at both the orientation and meet the teacher night to answer any questions you may have.
Scroll down for information on upcoming important dates. This and additional information was also shared via district email sent on July 27. Additionally, if you have not registered your student(s) for the 2024-2025, please do so as soon as possible. Information is below.
Please know that we are here to help and support your child and your family. Call any time with questions or for assistance. The main office number is 630-588-6400.
Warmest regards,
Brett Kueker
Principal
