WEST WING SCHOOL NEWS!!

Dear Parents,

This is a friendly reminder that our gates for afternoon pick-up do not open until 3:15.   If you arrive between 3:15 and 3:30, there is often a great deal of traffic congestion.  You may want to consider driving through parent pick up slightly later, at 3:35 or 3:40.  The weather is cooling off, so you may also want to consider walking to meet your student.  Please be advised that if you choose to park in the neighborhood to wait, you may receive a ticket from the Peoria Police.  Our teachers are working diligently to load up cars as quickly as possible.  Here are a few additional tips for speeding up this process:

1.  Keep a paper with your children's names in the front window so the teachers can quickly glance and call for your child.

2.  Encourage your student to walk immediately to parent pick up rather than stopping and talking to friends or staying behind in the classroom.

3.  If your child tends to walk slowly to parent pick-up, consider arriving a little later to give them a chance to get out to the basketball courts.

4.  Remind your child to sit or stand at the edge of the basketball court quietly so they can hear their name being called.

Dismissal is a busy time of day, and we so appreciate your support in helping us clear our campus safely and efficiently.

Sincerely,

West Wing Administration

BOOSTERTHON PEP RALLY is scheduled for Tuesday, September 29th for the entire school!!  This will kick off our first PTSA fund raiser for the 2015-16 school year.   Watch for Boosterthon information to come home next week.

Dear Parents/Guardians of West Wing School,

On October 8th, West Wing School will participate in a school wide fund-raiser, Boosterthon Fun Run. This is our yearly fund-raiser so that we can put the important learning tools in the hands of your children. This year we are focused on purchasing technology! The technology that we have chosen to purchase will be iPads and Chromebook lap top computers that will go directly into the classroom. These learning tools will assist our teachers in providing your child with the learning tools to help them be academically successful at West Wing School.

I encourage you to give what you can to provide the tools to enhance the learning and instruction at West Wing School!

Educationally Yours,

Dr. Price-Barry
