We are starting a new system where volunteers can come into the workroom and help teachers with copies, lamination, etc ... Teachers will place their needs inside their folder with specific instructions. When the task is completed, please put inside the teacher's mailbox.

Help Hours:

7:05 - 10:45 a.m. and 12:30 - 3:30 p.m.

In order to volunteer, please fill out a Background Check Form and turn it in to the office

Any changes from the usual pickup routine must be called to the front office by 2:30 that day in order for us to notify your child's teacher in a timely manner. Please do not contact your teacher directly in case they don't have afternoon conference, have a sub that day, or happen to miss the message. Contacting the front office helps us make sure everyone involved with after school duty knows of the change.

School is dismissed at 3:10 p.m. every day, please be on time to pick up your students. If you arrive after 3:25 p.m., you will need to come inside the office to sign them out.

Thank you for your help!

Students are encouraged to wear Walker Spirit wear on Wednesdays and support our High School Bulldogs on Fridays.

Do you recognize any of these items? Remind your child to stop by the Lost & Found to retrieve their items. Consider putting their name on the inside of their jackets & hoodies as the cooler weather approaches.

We have enjoyed having lunch visitors come eat with our students. Just a few reminders:

* Bring a picture ID

* Sit at the tables outside the cafeteria labeled for visitors

* You may only eat with your child (no friends, sorry!)

*There is an Adult Bathroom available at the end of the hall for your use

* No Friday Visitors

Being on time daily is imperative to student success. Instruction begins at 7:35 each day. Students need time to eat their breakfast (if they eat at school), get to class, put their things away, and be in their seats ready to learn by 7:35.

Students that have achieved PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the first 6-weeks of school will be invited to attend a Glow Dance this week (during school) and be entered into a raffle. It is essential for your child's academic success to be in school every day. Thank you for partnering with us!

However, we understand illnesses and other unexpected circumstances occur. If your child is out, please notify the school with written documention within (3) days.
