Principal's Message

Dear Williams Families,

This week is full of excitement! Tuesday night is our Title1 /Curriculum Night from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Each grade level will do a presentation in their pod at 5:30 p.m. They will repeat the presentation again at 6:00 p.m. for those of you who have children in more than one grade. We will have the presentation available in English and Spanish.

Everyone loves when the Book Fair is here! The Book Fair will be in the media center Monday through Friday during the school day. Students may shop during certain times of day based on their teachers' schedules so that they are not missing new instruction. If parents would like to shop with their child, please ask your teacher when is the most convenient time so that your child is not missing instruction. The Book Fair will be open on Tuesday night during Curriculum Night from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

Planning for the PTA's Truck-or-Treat is underway. The date is Friday, October 25th from 6-8 p.m. We need donations of candy to be given as prizes for games, Little Debbie snacks for the Cake Walk and streamers for decorations.

If you would like to donate fall decor for the front of our school, such as mums, pumpkins or bales of hay, those decorations would be greatly appreciated. Please contact anyone in our front office staff if you would like to help spruce up our front entrance.

Thank you for making your child's education a top priority and minimizing tardies and checking out early.#EveryMinuteMatters
