Good evening, Waters Landing family,
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! We are looking forward to celebrating with our Latino Heritage Car Parade on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 from 6:00-7:15pm. We hope to see you there! Please find a link above to the National Museum of the American Latino's virtual exhibits, in addition to a video about Hispanic Heritage month.
It was wonderful to see so many families at our first ever Dolphin Date last Wednesday evening. I told teh families who attended that they made history. Thank you to our Parent Community Coordinator, Ms. Moore, Ms. Johnson, one of our paraeducators, and our counselors, Ms. Jessee and Mrs. Sanders-G, for making the event a success.
Did you attend Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 13, 2023? If so, we want to know what you thought about it. Please share by clicking here. We want to make sure that we are meeting your needs.
We are in need of officers for the 2023-2024 WLES PTA. The PTA is one of our key community partners. The mission of the PTA is PTA's mission is to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. If you are willing to serve as the president vice president 1, vice president 2, treasurer or secretary, please click here to let the nominating committee know. Elections will be held at the PTA meeting on October 2, 2023. We really need your help with this. Without officers, there will not be a PTA at WLES. Our students deserve an active PTA here at the Landing.
The first Seneca Valley Cluster PTA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at Cain Branch Elementary School. The meeting will be held in the Media Center and begins at 6:00pm. All are welcome. On Thursday, September 28, 2023 we will have our Seneca Valley Cluster Resource Fair at Seneca Valley High School from 5:30-7:30pm. Please see below for the meeting agenda and the resource fair flyer.
We will be opening our doors to volunteers during lunch, recess and other areas of the school the first week of October. You can sign up to volunteer for lunch or recess here.
