TAX CREDIT:  Dear WW Parents and Guardians,

This short message is to inform you of an easy way for you to help West Wing School today. I am writing you this very important message about the importance of sending your Tax Credit donation to West Wing School. This gift from you contributes invaluable benefits to the West Wing students. Tax credit dollars go directly to extracurricular programs such as tutoring, special band and music programs that we would not be able to afford otherwise, and many more invaluable opportunities for your child.

If you donate your tax dollars to West Wing, it is at no cost to you.   The tax credit reduces your tax burden to the state of Arizona dollar for dollar as well as reduces your taxable income to the federal government, usually by 1/3 of your donation so it is a win win situation for you and for West Wing School.  Please take a moment and decide to donate your tax dollars to West Wing this year.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Price-Barry

FROM OUR CAFETERIA:

School Breakfast - Good for Kids and Good for Parents!

For parents with busy schedules, it can be hard to make sure that kids are eating a healthy breakfast before they go to school in the morning.

Sometimes children aren’t hungry right after waking up, and it’s hard to find food they like to eat that is also healthy. Also, some kids refuse breakfast at home but are hungry when they arrive at school. Fortunately, we have a great breakfast program for all students, and it’s available at school every day.

If morning meals are difficult for your family, let the School Breakfast Program help you out!

Menu:

The Food & Nutrition Department would like to hear from you. Complete the parent survey to tell us what you think about school breakfast and school lunch. Results from this survey will allow Food & Nutrition Department to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.

or find the survey on the Food & Nutrition Department web site at www.dvusd.org.

We look forward to hearing from you,
