THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS ITS PACK
September 22, 2023
Wasco Families,
Learning is all about creating connections. A wonderful way to make social connections is Wasco School Town Hall Meetings. The Town Hall meeting is a whole school event comprised of a common message for all and small group time for activities and discussion. For the small group portions of the program, we combine older grade levels with younger grade levels. The topic of our Town Hall meeting this Wednesday is Acceptance and Belonging. We hope to build relationships, reinforce our Wasco Expectations, and learn ways to facilitate belonging in our school. Here are some follow-up questions to prompt discussion at home:
Think about a time when you experienced a sense of belonging in a group. How did you know you belonged?
Think about a time you witnessed someone else struggle to feel that they belonged in a group. What happened?
Kind Regards,
Principal Brennan

When using the drop off lane, please drive all the way forward so that we can load/unload as many cars as possible. Please stay in your car. If you wish to get out and load your child, you are welcome to park in the lot. By following this procedure, we can expedite everyone’s waiting times in the car lane.
