Good Morning,
A reminder that there is No School on Monday, 10/12, and a half of a day of school on Tuesday (for all students) 10/13. Dismissal is at 10:45 .
Thank you to all the families who attended our Positive Solutions training! We appreciate your time, participation, and partnership as we work together to support our children’s emotional development, build coping skills, and encourage positive behaviors both at school and at home.
A huge thank you to Mrs. Costa and Mrs. Magner for sharing their knowledge, practical strategies, and valuable resources with our families!
To continue supporting you at home, we will be sharing helpful tips, strategies, and resources from the Positive Solutions presentation in our weekly newsletter through November. We hope these resources provide practical ideas you can use with your child and help strengthen the connection between home and school.
Thank you for being such an important part of our WECC community. Together, we can help our children build the skills and confidence they need to learn, grow, and thrive!
Have a wonderful long weekend!
Mrs. Perez
