Families,

We are pleased to Introduce Karen Decort as our Wasco School Nurse. Her start date is February 10th. We will be sharing more "get to know you information" about Nurse Decort in a future Wasco Weekly. Any correspondence can be forwarded directly to our front office or you can use the following email address: was-nurses@d303.org

If your student is suddenly a Kansas City Chiefs fan for the Superbowl, now you know why :-) Wasco roots for Mrs. Misner's team!

Currently, our PE classes are exploring the bowling unit, and we wanted to highlight the incredible student leadership we're seeing. Our fifth-grade students have been instrumental in helping prepare our multi-purpose gym for bowling activities. With 14 lanes in our school bowling "alley", these students are learning valuable teamwork and responsibility by assisting with lane setup and preparation. We're proud of how our students are stepping up to support their school community.

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.

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!
