The Wildcat Weekly

Wildcat Families,

Next week (May 6th-10th) marks a special time at our school as we celebrate Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated educators and staff who pour their hearts into supporting and guiding our students every day. To honor their hard work and dedication, our PTA and Sunshine committee are joining forces to organize a week filled with gratitude and support. We have planned various ways to show our thanks and we invite parents and students to join us in recognizing these exceptional individuals who make such a difference in our school community. Let's come together to express our appreciation and admiration for our incredible teachers and staff.

If you would like to donate to our Teacher and Staff Appreciation Nacho Bar on Tuesday, May 7th, please use the link below to sign up. Thank you for your continued support!

Mrs. Clemens

Principal

Wildcat Families,

We hope that you have seen notices that our district, school, teachers and coaches are moving to a system called ParentSquare to communicate with you. On May 10th, all our teachers will be trained on the system.

For a brief time, we will have two systems in use to communicate with you. Messages sent by ParentSquare will look a little different than those sent from our old system. One of the most notable changes is a new text message code. ParentSquare messages will be from "66458." Our old system uses code "60680." We will stop using our old system at the end of the school year.

With ParentSquare, parents will be able to set preferences for when (instant or end of day) and how (e-mail, text, app) you get communication from your children's teachers, their schools, and the district.

After our teachers are trained in May, we will send more information to parents about how you can use the system, too! We appreciate your patience and understanding while we transition to the new system to better meet your needs!
