Wrangler WeeklyWeek of September 1, 2024

Message from Ms. Bratton, principal

Hello Wrangler families,


School is in full swing. Students are busy writing, working on experiments, and many are already checking out their next book from the library. (Be sure to ask your Wrangler what color team they are on -- our Wranglers Read Challenge has begun!)


Students and teachers focused on analyzing our core values during Wrangler Time this week. Below you will find our campus expectations matrix and some student examples of how we did a deep dive into safety, respect, and responsibility.


A reminder to put Monday, September 9 on your calendar. We encourage all families to attend OPEN HOUSE and meet their student's teachers. The evening begins with our PTA General Meeting at 5 PM. Teacher classroom sessions will begin at 6 PM; we move through the seven period day, concluding our evening at approximately 7:30 PM.


Finally, you should have received a district communication this week providing instructions on setting up your Parent Square account:

  • click here to view ParentSquare Getting Started Guide
    • Parents who choose not to register will still receive email, phone and text notifications.
    • Parents who create an account will benefit from having all communication in one location, downloading attachments and managing their communication settings and preferences.


Wishing you and your Wrangler a wonderful holiday weekend!

Go Wranglers!

Mrs. Bratton
