Wasco Weekly

Dear Families,

Together we have witnessed growth, achievement, and joy in our Wasco Wolves. We are all so very proud of them! We are sad to send off our Fifth grade class, but we are confident they will thrive as in middle school! Our recap includes several pictures of the Legacy Walk, an experience which showcases the best of education purpose: building relationships so that children can explore and grow into their greatest potential!

Happy Summer everyone!

We are in the home stretch--summer is right around the corner! As you begin to fill up your summer with activities and vacations, you should consider our very own D303 Summer Strings Camp!

This camp will be for orchestra students who are currently in grades 3 - 8. Camp will be June 17,18, 20 and June 24, 25, 26 and 27 in the evenings at Thompson Middle School.

Please visit the link in Pushcoin for more details! Questions? Ask your orchestra teacher or email the Director, Angie Wifler at angela.wifler@d303.org

One Wednesday per month, students will have an early release and dismissal will occur at 2:10pm. Please refer to the district website.

If possible, please make sure to notify the teacher and the office if your student is leaving early.

Absences should be called in by 7:45 AM if your child will be absent for any portion of the day. The number is 331-228-2900 and has voicemail. You can call during the evening or overnight and leave a message. Please leave your child’s name, their teacher's name and the reason why your child is out. If they are ill, please indicate their symptoms. You are also welcome to email absence information to Candy Thoke in the main office at candace.thoke@d303.org.

When using the drop off lane, please drive all the way forward so that we can load/unload as many cars as possible. Please stay in your car. If you wish to get out and load your child, you are welcome to park in the lot. By following this procedure, we can expedite everyone’s waiting times in the car lane.
