Wasco Families,
National Homeless Youth Awareness Month
November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, where we take this opportunity to raise awareness around students experiencing homelessness. Each year, hundreds of thousands of families face the challenges of homelessness, including families and students in D303. Students who experience homelessness are at a greater risk for emotional and behavioral difficulties. Since its declaration in 2007, this month has highlighted the experiences of those affected and inspired action to combat this critical issue. By educating ourselves and our local community on ways to support these individuals, we can contribute to the effort to end homelessness. Thank you to our dedicated staff for the hard work you do every day to support D303 students and families experiencing homelessness; your compassion makes a significant difference in their lives.
Veterans Day
Our Wasco community is preparing for our yearly tradition of honoring Veterans on November 11th. Do you know a veteran or military service member? If so, your family is invited to share this Veteran’s history in our all school Veteran Slideshow. Please click the link below for the process. Also, you are welcome to invite a friend, neighbor, or family member who is or has served in our Armed Forces to our Veteran’s Day Assembly on Monday, November 11th at 1:50. We would be honored if they would like to attend our ceremony, so we could show our appreciation for their service in person! Details for sign up are below. All Veteran form submissions are due on/by Nov. 6.

Pumpkin Contest Thank You
Thank you to the PTO and families for participating in our annual decorating contest. Every year there is more creativity and imagination. They are spectacular to behold and staff has enjoyed speaking with students about their unique design processes and hearing how families collaborated to share something special with the school. You are welcome to pick up your pumpkin. Unclaimed pumpkins will be discarded at the end of day Wednesday the 6th.
Kind Regards,
