WCCS Elementary Families: This afternoon, your child's teacher will be sending home some homework for you! It is an emergency contact information sheet. It contains phone numbers/emails/addresses of parents/guardians and emergency contacts you provided when you enrolled your child. Please check this information to make sure it is current and up-to-date and return to school as soon as you can. Please note: Some teachers have already sent this information home prior to this message and you may have already received this document. If so, we appreciate your completing this important task.
RECESS! The mild fall temps are perfect for outdoor recess time. For WC Eaglets in the elementary school, playtime uses some extra energy, increases concentration, allows for free play and socializing and clears the brain. Students have an opportunity to build friendships and breathe the fresh outdoor air. Under the watchful eye of their teachers, this play becomes as much a part of their learning day as their classroom activities.
