SAVE THE DATE! Join us December 1st, 5-7pm for our annual holiday shop! This year, 15 local businesses will be joining us to give our Wasco community a chance to purchase gifts for family & friends while also supporting local small businesses. Kids will get to shop from the school's holiday shop vendor!

During that time, there will also be photos with Santa (he accepts donations), a hot cocoa bar, and a bake sale in the community room.

Early Release:

One Wednesday per month, students will have an early release and dismissal will occur at 2:10pm. Please refer to the district website.

If possible, please make sure to notify the teacher and the office if your student is leaving early.

Absences should be called in by 7:45 AM if your child will be absent for any portion of the day. The number is 331-228-2900 and has voicemail. You can call during the evening or overnight and leave a message. Please leave your child’s name, their teacher's name and the reason why your child is out. If they are ill, please indicate their symptoms. You are also welcome to email absence information to Candy Thoke in the main office at candace.thoke@d303.org.

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.
