(Reminder) Apple and SMART Watches at WES!
Apple and SMART Watches can be used in the same way a cell phone is used: Students can search the internet, send and receive text messages, and even make phone calls.
Apple and SMART Watches are treated the same as cell phones per our Elementary Handbook policy: "Cell phones and/or other electronic devises may not be used in any manner that will cause disruption to the educational environment."
Our daily goal is to be able to provide our WES Students with the absolute best education possible, and we do so by helping ensure that cell phones and SMART watches are placed in backpacks to help avoid any unnecessary distractions.
We appreciate you partnering with us to ensure the best educational environment for our students!

(REMINDER) ATTENDANCE AT WES!
Over half of the school year is in the books, which means we are sledding down the hill quickly toward the end of the year.
As a reminder, attendance at school is CRITICAL to a child's academic and social success: Missing even two days a month can accumulate quickly to 20 days out of school.
If your child(ren) must miss school, please communicate those absences to Mrs. Harasewicz, and also your child's classroom teacher.
Arrival and Dismissal at WES!
Arrival
- Bus Riders: Students riding the bus will enter at Door #6 at 7:45 AM.
- Car Riders: Students who are car riders or walkers will enter at Door #1 at 7:45 AM.
- Click HERE for the map of our car rider procedures.
- Parents, a few reminder about car riders:
- Please form a DOUBLE LINE (BLACK LINE) as you enter at the far end of the parking lot: This process will be very similar to the double line at the McDonald's Drive Thru!
- The Double Line will end and merge into a single line (BLUE) all the way to the front of the building at Door #1.
- Please do not let your child(ren) exit your vehicle any sooner than the sidewalk (Green Arrow).
- Walkers: There will be a crossing guard to stop traffic so that our students may cross the street safely. Please talk with your child(ren) about the importance of listening to the crossing guard, as she is there to keep them safe.
Dismissal

- Car Riders: Car riders will begin exiting the building at 2:40 PM from Door #1.

Construction at WES!
You may have heard that WES is going to have some construction happening this year, and that is indeed correct!
WES is looking to improve various areas of our building, starting with new heating and cooling systems in our classrooms! Construction will not happen before the first day of school, but will happen throughout the upcoming school year.
But don't worry! Classrooms will be moved around so that there will be no students or staff in classrooms where work is being done.
JGSC is finalizing the construction bidding process, and once that happens, I will be able to provide more details on (1) when construction will start and (2) what rooms will be affected during certain times.
More details coming soon!

Dr. Fuller's Thoughts!
What I really want to focus on as we approach Spring Break is simple... do what you love!
Life is too short and too precious...DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
Detach...relax your mind...forget about the stresses that keep you up at night.
Instead, focus on YOU for a moment.
Everyone is busy...but it's the people who make enjoying life a priority that, well...really ENJOY their life!
It can be anything...whether spending a weekday afternoon meeting a friend for lunch, picking up that book that's sat untouched on your nightstand, taking a day trip with your family to go for a hike...whatever you wish you could do more often!
It's about being proactive and creating a life you love instead of living the one you think you're stuck with...YOU'RE NOT!
Take care of yourself...pamper yourself...after all, you deserve it ;)
