What is it?

The ABC Challenge is a way to continue to encourage and celebrate learning as we wrap our year up. Each day is a theme related to a letter of the alphabet. The theme can be an activity, a focus for the day, or a dress-up day.

When does it start?

We will start with the letter A next Tuesday, April 23. There is a day set aside after "Z" to wear Wasco or Thompson wear on the last day.

It's almost book fair time! The Scholastic book fair will run from April 29th-May 2nd during the school day. We are looking for volunteers to help during the fair. If you are able to donate some of your time, please use the sign-up-genius link below to select a time slot. We really appreciate all your help!!

We are in the home stretch--summer is right around the corner! As you begin to fill up your summer with activities and vacations, you should consider our very own D303 Summer Strings Camp!

This camp will be for orchestra students who are currently in grades 3 - 8. Camp will be June 17,18, 20 and June 24, 25, 26 and 27 in the evenings at Thompson Middle School.

Please visit the link in Pushcoin for more details! Questions? Ask your orchestra teacher or email the Director, Angie Wifler at angela.wifler@d303.org

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.
