Good Evening Willard Families,


What a joy it was to see so many of you at Curriculum Night! I was thrilled to meet many families face-to-face and get the chance to put a face to the name! Principal Battle and I got the opportunity to share our vision for this school year together as well as celebrate the wins from last year! There's something truly special about connecting as a community and prioritizing time to outlining our hopes and goals for your children's educational journey.


We're grateful to lead this wonderful school community with transparency and authenticity, and we're excited about the many family-school partnerships that lie ahead. Your engagement and support mean everything to us and, most importantly, to your students.


In this week's newsletter, you'll find several important reminders alongside additional updates about our upcoming SDRP meetings and schedules. Please take a moment to review all the information, and as always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or wonderings.


As always, it's a great day to be an Owl!


Best,

AP Ernvall

Library Cards! Library Cards!

We're on a mission to get every Willard student their own Evanston Public Library card – and it's going to be amazing for your family!


An EPL card unlocks thousands of books, resources, workshops, and family events. Even better? Your card works at Wilmette and Skokie libraries too, giving you three incredible library systems to explore!


We've already talked this up during Library classes and the kids are excited. Application forms are available in our Willard Library, and we've attached one to this newsletter for easy access.


This is a simple way to open up endless learning opportunities and fun experiences for your family. Let's make this the year every Willard student gets their library card! - Ms. Harries
