WELCHES WEEKLY UPDATE!
SEPTEMBER 27, 2024
WILDCAT WISDOM FOR SEPTEMBER - SAFETY
This month our Wildcat Wisdom trait is safety. Students will be learning how to be safe at school. Did you know that safety is one of our three school rules? Students can be safe by walking in the hallway, sitting on the bus during their ride home, following directions, practicing fire drills, and following recess rules. Each classroom will create a whole group poster on how to be safe in different areas of the school. A great conversation to have with your student could be about the poster that was created in class.

LITTLE STEPS TO SCHOOL SUCCESS
Do you, or someone you know, have a three, four, or five-year-old-child (who is not yet enrolled in kindergarten)?
Your neighborhood elementary school is offering a program called “Little Steps to School Success” for you and your three, four, or five--year-old child (who is not yet enrolled in kindergarten). Your child will enjoy a special evening of stories and activities at the school.
Each event is a special time for you and your preschooler only. Parents must accompany your preschooler, so there will be free childcare available for any siblings.
These activities will take place in your child’s future kindergarten classroom and are led by teachers and staff from the school. The evening begins with a read-aloud by the kindergarten teacher, and is followed by fun activities to build skills your child will need for entering kindergarten. Your child will meet new friends who will be future classmates, meet his or her future kindergarten teacher, engage in skill-building activities that you can continue to do at home, and have fun.
Each family that attends will receive a free book as well as a packet of activities to do together at home to reinforce skills.
The Welches Little Steps dates are:
10/17/24
11/7/24
2/20/25
3/6/25
For more information, or to register, visit the Little Steps page on the district website.
