Dear families,
It has been another great week at Wooten! Students are learning about Perseverance, “pushing yourself through challenges and obstacles.” Practice Perseverance at home: Have each person in the family commit to 1 thing they will do each day this week. Maybe it is flossing, drinking a certain amount of water, getting to bed at a certain time, limiting screen time, or exercising. Create a place where each person can tally their progress and see who can keep their streak going the longest!
Our next Breakfast of Champions, on January 31st at 9am, will celebrate a student from each class that has persevered this month.
Next week, our ACE after school program will start back up! The students who have enrolled are sure to have a great time. If you are interested in your child enrolling in ACE, they must be enrolled. Contact Tanisha Pemberton for more information: tanisha.pemberton@austinisd.org
Notes for 5th grade families:
This semester, we will be forming a Student Council. 5th grade students will be invited to apply with a letter and recommendation from their teacher. The Council will provide opportunities to practice leadership and teamwork, and will coordinate activities for No Place for Hate, a national anti-bullying campaign from the Anti-Defamation League.
Middle School: It’s been a busy week!
This past Wednesday, Burnet Middle School hosted a field trip to tour the school and view presentations from their programs. On Thursday, Ann Richards School returned to Wooten to help girls with their application letters. On Friday, our boys took a field trip to Gus Garcia Young Men’s Leadership Academy, where they toured the school, filled out choice sheets, and saw their program offerings.
Upcoming:
Wednesday, Jan 22nd, Wooten will host a workshop for parent assistance with the middle school enrollment form.
Monday, Jan 27th, Burnet Middle School will return to Wooten to assist with course selection.
TBD, Ann Richards might come to Wooten one more time to help finalize application letters.
