THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS ITS PACK

Wasco Weekly
February 14, 2025
Dear Families,
On this Valentine's Day, we want to take a moment to share something truly special with you – our heartfelt pride in your amazing children and all they've accomplished this school year.
Just as you treasure the work that appears on your refrigerators and the stories your children excitedly share at dinner, we take pride in watching their daily growth and achievements in our classrooms. Every day, we witness countless moments that make our hearts swell with pride.
Your children bring such vibrant energy and enthusiasm to our halls. They ask insightful questions that make us think deeply. They show compassion that reminds us what matters most. They persist through challenges with remarkable resilience. Every day, they make our school a warmer, brighter place to be.
This Valentine's Day, we want you to know that your children fill our school with love, laughter, and learning every single day. Their progress and achievements, both big and small, make us incredibly proud. Thank you for being our partners in their education and for raising such wonderful young people.
Thank you for telling your child how proud you are of their growth and efforts this year. Your words of encouragement mean the world to them and reinforce our shared commitment to the importance of education.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Brennan
Principal, Wasco Elementary School

District 303 Partners With GPS Parent Series
District 303 is proud to partner with the Glenbard Parent Series (GPS) to offer our families broader access to information sessions and resources that support their child’s development.
For decades, GPS has been offering free programs that aim to empower and strengthen families, individuals and communities. As a partner organization, District 303 will support promoting upcoming programs and their importance to our local community.
Early Release Dates 24-25
Wasco Parking Lot Guide 24-25
The map below displays how Wasco organizes dismissal for car riders. We will be directing students to wait on our “front lawn” for their ride. If they see their families' vehicles, they can walk along the sidewalk and enter the stopped vehicle. If you would like to leave your car to pick up your child, you are free to park in the lot.
You can save this as a handy reference for your caregivers or visiting family members who do pick up as well!
