(REMINDER) ATTENDANCE AT WES!
Over half of the school year is in the books, which means we are sledding down the hill quickly toward the end of the year.
As a reminder, attendance at school is CRITICAL to a child's academic and social success: Missing even two days a month can accumulate quickly to 20 days out of school.
If your child(ren) must miss school, please communicate those absences to Mrs. Harasewicz, and also your child's classroom teacher.
Arrival and Dismissal at WES!

- Parents, a few reminder about car riders:
- Please form a DOUBLE LINE (BLACK LINE) as you enter at the far end of the parking lot: This process will be very similar to the double line at the McDonald's Drive Thru!

- Please do not let your child(ren) exit your vehicle any sooner than the sidewalk (Green Arrow).

Construction at WES!
You may have heard that WES is going to have some construction happening this year, and that is indeed correct!
WES is looking to improve various areas of our building, starting with new heating and cooling systems in our classrooms! Construction will not happen before the first day of school, but will happen throughout the upcoming school year.
But don't worry! Classrooms will be moved around so that there will be no students or staff in classrooms where work is being done.
JGSC is finalizing the construction bidding process, and once that happens, I will be able to provide more details on (1) when construction will start and (2) what rooms will be affected during certain times.
More details coming soon!

Dr. Fuller's Thoughts!
Wow...the time has arrived...Spring Break is here!
We have hit another milestone in the course of the school year!
There are a lot of people to thank for getting us to this point...too many in fact.
What I really want to focus on as we approach Spring Break is simple... do what you love!
Life is too short and too precious...DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
Detach...relax your mind...forget about the stresses that keep you up at night.
Instead, focus on YOU for a moment.
Everyone is busy...but it's the people who make enjoying life a priority that, well...really ENJOY their life!
It can be anything...whether spending a weekday afternoon meeting a friend for lunch, picking up that book that's sat untouched on your nightstand, taking a day trip with your family to go for a hike...whatever you wish you could do more often!
It's about being proactive and creating a life you love instead of living the one you think you're stuck with...YOU'RE NOT!
Take care of yourself...pamper yourself...after all, you deserve it ;)
