(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.

- 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!
- The Double Line will end and merge into a single line (BLUE) all the way to the front of the building at Door #1.
- Please do not let your child(ren) exit your vehicle any sooner than the sidewalk (Green Arrow).
- Walkers: There will be a crossing guard to stop traffic so that our students may cross the street safely. Please talk with your child(ren) about the importance of listening to the crossing guard, as she is there to keep them safe.
Dismissal
- Bus Riders: Buses will be dismissed at a time starting at 2:45 PM from Door #6.
- Car Riders: Car riders will begin exiting the building at 2:40 PM from Door #1.

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!
Do you have that little voice in the back of your head that....doubts you?
You know the one...that pestering voice that thinks...am I really doing this right?
...is this enough?
...am I worthy?
Bottom line is...we all have it to some degree.
With ILEARN starting soon, that test brings a variety of emotions from students AND teachers....trust me, there is always that little bit of self-doubt.
Did we properly discuss this standard? Did I answer in perfect PQA?
It's natural....part of life...
The funny thing is, self-doubt can really be our ALLY. Self-doubt can serve as our goal or aspiration, if you let it.
You wouldn't be anxious or nervous about something that you didn't care about.
Self-doubt reflects love and the love for what you do.
And remember, the opposite of love isn't hate...it's indifference.
Whenever you find self-doubt creeping in the back of your mind...take a deep breath...know that it's there because of love...and tell yourself...
...YOU GOT THIS!
