As winter break kicks off, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education. The holiday season is a time for reflection, celebration, and, most importantly, spending quality time with loved ones.

We hope this winter break brings you and your family moments of warmth, joy, and connection. May the season be filled with laughter, love, and shared memories that will last a lifetime.

Take this time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the simple pleasures that the winter season brings. Whether you're cozying up by the fireplace, exploring the outdoors, or simply taking a break from your routine, we hope you find peace and happiness in each moment.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of educating and nurturing your child. We look forward to continuing this journey together in the coming year, filled with new opportunities and achievements.

Wishing you a wonderful winter break and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

We understand that schedule changes can have an impact on students, and we strive to minimize disruptions as much as possible. However, in certain instances, adjustments are necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of our academic environment. These adjustments serve various purposes, including balancing class sizes, accommodating new students joining our school community, moving students in and out of interventions, and addressing behavioral challenges by creating separate schedules. Any schedule changes will be posted in HAC on Monday January 8th. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

A huge thanks to the Wredling PTO for purchasing our Book Vending Machine. Students have been excited to earn/win tokens for some fantastic new titles. The positive impact that the vending machine is having on our students' enthusiasm for reading is evident in these big smiles.

We need your help. We have many individuals with allergies and asthma. As a result, we are asking that students not use perfume or cologne at school. For those with allergies and asthma, these various scents can be a trigger and can cause an attack. When students shower regularly and use deodorant, they should not have a need for cologne or perfume at school. Please have a conversation regarding this topic with your RedHawk(s). Thank you for helping us keep students & staff safe and healthy at Wredling!

The Wred Feather newspaper club invites our families to enjoy a special holiday edition of our online newspaper. Get ready to dive into a world of festive fun packed with jolly holiday features, teacher interviews, trivia/games, and more! We hope you enjoy the hard work and talent of our Redhawk writers!

You can access the Wred Feather on our Wredling website. Happy Reading!

The yearbook club is looking for pictures of life at WMS (halloween, clubs, sports, activities, concerts, play, competitions). Students or parents can submit photos directly from their phone using THIS LINK (pass code=redhawks) or emailed to Mr. Massie (timothy.massie@d303.org).

In light of the pending School Board decision in February on high school attendance boundaries, we are rescheduling the Future Freshmen event from January 11 to January 17. The new date will allow all District 303 future freshmen to attend an event focused on the district-wide high school course offerings and course selection process. Regardless of high school assignment, it is important to have incoming freshmen course requests at this time in eSchool. This will allow the high schools to begin the sectioning and scheduling process for the 2024-2025 school year immediately following the boundary decision.

An athletic and activity event for future North Stars will be scheduled once the boundaries are established. More details about the event on January 17 will be shared following Winter Break.

More information on the District’s boundary process, including a timeline of upcoming meetings and concept maps, can be found at district.d303.org/boundary-updates.

Sincerely,

Shanna Lewis
