What a week this was! With spirit week, the Lifeskills Assembly, and Friday's Fun Day lunchtime activities, and our Spring dance, every day this week was filled with magic and whimsy! Given all the excitement this week, my favorite day this week was Thursday's "Dress like a teacher/student" day. We had so many new "students!" And really stepping into the role of the leaders of tomorrow, our Peer Helpers from the Conflict Resolution class really stepped up to the plate with a staff meeting presentation offering their observations and services in helping to support their peers deal with challenges on campus. Our mission statement calls for students seeing themselves as empowered individuals and create opportunities for students to enact change on campus. We are so proud of all of our students who are exploring their voice and impacting change on campus!
A note about parking - we have noticed a large number of families parking in the staff lot for after school pick up. This creates a safety hazard as students often exit school through the parking lot. While we continue to teach our students about parking lot safety, we ask that all families picking up students please use the loop or find an alternate pick up location off campus to ensure student safety.
Grades will be available in Aeries on April 11th. Please see the SLzUSD Aeries Family Portal if you need more information about Aeries. If you have questions about your students' grades, you can reach out to their teacher (WMMS Staff Directory) or their counselor:

- At Washington Manor, we are committed to promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity for our young wolves. Recently, we have noticed students selling snacks and candies on campus. We would like to remind everyone that selling food items on school grounds is not allowed. Parents and guardians, please take a moment to encourage your child to make healthier snack choices and to remind them that selling food at school is prohibited.
Please remember that Washington Manor hosts cell phone free classes. During class times we ask that students turn off their cell phones, so that they can focus on learning. Please call our main office at 510-317-5501 to get a message to your student.

REPORTING/VERIFYING ABSENCES
Caregivers may excuse absences by calling the Attendance Line: 510-317-5599. Families have 72 hours to clear absences. If an absence is not cleared within 72 hours, the absence will no longer be excused. Only parents/guardians can excuse absences.
ATTENDANCE LINE
When excusing an absence, families should call and leave a message on the Attendance Line: 510-317-5599. When leaving a message please state the student's name or ID #, the reason for the absence, and the name of the parent/guardian calling.
ABSENCE ERRORS
If you receive a call, email, or text about a student's absence that you believe to be in error, please have the student see Ms. Kelly in the Main Office within 72 hours of the recorded absence.
Important Learning to be done!
In our efforts to curb tardies, we continue to enforce the following rules in order to promote an effective learning environment:
- 10/10 Rule: Students will not be allowed out of class in the first and last ten minutes of class. This is to ensure that they are getting set up for success, have the opportunity to write in their planner, and complete warm up activities. The last ten minutes ensure they get the homework and any last minute announcements.
- Teacher Dismisses the Class, Not the Bell: Students are often anxious to get out to break and transition into their new classes. Students need to remain seated until their teacher dismisses them. This will have the added safety benefit of reducing the number of false fire alarms as students have less access to the pull stations.
- Hall Passes: When students leave the classroom, they are required to have a current hall pass that marks the time they left and the location to which they are going.
While these are all procedures WMMS staff are working together to implement, reviewing them with your student will be very helpful. We thank you for your support.
