Wildcat Update
November 26, 2023
Please enjoy this week's Wildcat Update. We enjoyed seeing families last week at Parent Teacher Conferences. Special thanks to the PTA volunteers that provided dinner for the staff. It was delicious and very much appreciated! We hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving and time off. We look forward to seeing our students once again tomorrow!
E-Learning Practice Day
**PLEASE NOTE NEW DATE OF NOVEMBER 28**
In the event of inclement weather this year, our district will be conducting an eLearning day. This will ensure that our school year ends on our scheduled date and summer construction can begin as scheduled.
On November 28, we will be practicing an eLearning day at school. During this practice day, all students will practice joining their virtual Google Meet link in their classroom so that they have some experience with how they will access the Google Meet link in the event of an eLearning day. On that practice day, all students will bring home their devices, case, and charger including our K-2 students. All students will be expected to complete an online activity on their Chromebook to ensure that they are able to log in to their Chromebook at home and connect to their home WiFi. Here are directions if you need assistance connecting the Chromebook device to your home WiFi.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

PTA Meeting
The next PTA meeting will take place on December 12 at 7 PM. The meeting will be an ugly Holiday sweater/cookie party! We are hoping people who are already baking for the holidays share their treats (but no pressure)! Please fill out this spreadsheet so we know how many people plan on coming for baking purposes.
Code Ninja Night
Code Ninja Parents Night Out was so popular last time around, we decided to do it again! On December 8, you can drop your kid(s) from 6-9 and go holiday shopping, or just take a breather! Half of the proceeds go back to Whiteley PTA. See attached flyer and sign up soon! (Please note, you will need to open this email in a browser to view the PDF.)
