THE STRENGTH OF THE WOLF IS ITS PACK
October 19, 2023
Wasco Families,
As part of my follow up to our Parent Townhall, I would like to present our Specials Team MAPLE News. All of our teachers, including our specials teams, lead students to learn grade level standards each and every session. In their MAPLE News, you can read how these standards are met, grade by grade. All of our teachers design thoughtful and engaging experiences for our students so they grow towards excellence!
Remember that our Wasco term “MAPLE” stands for Music, Art, PE, LRC, Empower!
Kind Regards,
Principal Brennan

Community News / Resources
We have a collection box in the Wasco Office!
The Parent Education Series is D303's way of empowering parents and guardians to support their children's academic, social, and emotional needs through a series of information sessions. Become informed on specialized topics, engage in two-way dialogue with speakers and fellow parents, and become a support resource for others. The sessions offered are based on feedback from our parents and may feature teachers and staff, community partners, or guests from afar who specialize in topics relevant to our District. Please click here for a list of our exciting upcoming sessions!
Early Release
Early Release:
One Wednesday per month, students will have an early release and dismissal will occur at 2:10pm. Please refer to the district website.
