A Note from Ms. Collins Dear WB Families, Happy February! It is so hard to believe that we are in Week 22 of the 2016-2017 school year, and 3rd Quarter has already begun! We are making tremendous strides in our personalized learning journey this year for all students K-8! All students have completed Winter NWEA testing, and we are excited to share their assessment data with families at our February Parent-Teacher Conferences. These conferences are mandatory for all students, so please make sure you sign up in the gym. You will see the growth that your child has already made this school year, learn about the goals they are working towards this spring, and discuss ways to help support at home. I am so excited about this opportunity for parents and teachers to work together to make a strong plan! As we continue through the winter months, please remember that attendance is SO important for your child’s success this year. Our overall attendance percentage was also a huge factor in us becoming a 1+ school. On really cold days, remember that it is always better to bring your child late than not at all. Please help us keep our 1+ status by bringing your child to school each day and making sure we keep the highest attendance percentage possible! Please know that I am always available if you have any questions, ideas, comments, or feedback to help our school be the best that it can be! Come talk to me anytime!
