Hello Waters Landing family!
We are officially halfway through the school year. Can you believe it? Where has the time gone?
Waters Landing Elementary School is part of the No Place for Hate initiative, which teachers students to respect everyone's differences. Principal Hammond wants to hear about your family's experiences here at WLES, as well as any thoughts and ideas you have to ensure every child is successful. All of the meetings to date have been impacted by school closings and the current schedule had to be updated. Here are the remaining meetings, one of which was changed for this week as well:
- Tuesday, 1/30/24 at 7:00pm in the Office Conference Room
- Wednesday, 1/31/24 at 7:00pm virtually
Please send a text to (240) 753-9472 with your name, the grade level your student is in and the session you plan to attend. Please find the Zoom link for the remaining virtual option below.
