CAREERS ON WHEELS
(Important Drop Off Information for this Day)
On Thursday, May 9th, Waller will be hosting the 2nd annual CAREERS ON WHEELS event! This is a great event to showcase different career type vehicles that students might want to purse one day. Students in 1st and 4th grade across the entire District will be coming to Waller this day!
This event takes place first thing in the morning, so in order to get the vehicles set up and in position, we will need to CLOSE OUR PARKING LOT for DROP OFF that morning.
This means if you drop off your child before school, you will need to stop at the Temporary Designated Drop Off area near the parking lot entrance, on Gardner Ave. (we will have staff there).
Drop your child off and then continue up towards Kane St. after your child exits the car. Students will walk down the ramp towards the parking lot to enter the building in the doors that they normally go into. If you arrive at school before the doors open at 7:45, you will not be allowed to enter the parking lot, so you will need to wait on the street - or if possible, please arrive closer to 7:45 this day. PLEASE Be sure to ONLY drop the kids off on the school side of the street - we don't want any of the kids being dropped off in the road. We will send another email reminding you of this closer to the event.
PTO HAPPENINGS!!
STOCK THE BREAKROOM!
We are having our annual "Stock the Staff Break Room" event next week.
During conferences, our teachers are working from the time the bell rings to release the kids, into the early night without much of a break. We (PTO) plan to fill the break room with snacks, drinks, and treats to show our appreciation. If you would be so kind as to please sign up to bring a snack, and send it to school on Monday or Tuesday, April 29th or 30th, we would greatly appreciate it! Just click on the link below!
TEACHER APPRECIATION
With Teacher Appreciation week coming up, parents have been asking for an updated Wish List for our teachers! Feel free to take a look at this one!
GR. 5 TO BOUNDLESS ADVENTURES!
The Waller 5th grade team has worked hard to raise money to be able to go on a special end of the year field trip! They will be going to Boundless Adventures on Friday, May 10th.
Here are a few pictures from last years trip ~ the kids had the time of their lives!!
We sure are hoping that this year's 5th graders have the same Great Experience!
