Wyneken Weekly Parent Note

Casey's Check In

Thanksgiving is almost here, and I'm thankful for every one of you. Thanks for trusting us with your kids each day.

Family Reading Challenge: Great Job to Everyone who completed their October Reading Challenge!!! Celebrations will be handed out tomorrow! Keep Reading ;) We love to find ways to celebrate all our readers!

• Mon., Nov. 16: Mid-term of 2nd quarter. Now is a good time to check your child's grades in FACTS. If something looks off, reach out to the teacher now.
• Mon., Nov. 16: PTL meeting at 6:30 pm. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend (will be meeting in the Team Room - former computer lab).
• Fri., Nov. 20: Wyneken Middle School Fall Dance, 6:30 to 9:00 pm.

One more thing. Our 2nd quarter chapel offerings go to our Christmas families through Lutheran Social Services. If you're counting your blessings this month, this is an easy way to share them.

A Quick Reminder About Morning Arrival

Mornings get busy, and we’re grateful for how smoothly most drop-offs go. A couple of reminders to help keep it safe for everyone:

• Student restrooms are for students only. This includes before school and during drop-off. Our kids use those restrooms all morning, and adults can’t be in those spaces.
• If your younger child needs the restroom when you arrive, stop by the office. We’re happy to help or point you to the right spot.
• Thanks for helping us keep our building safe for every student.

Virtual Make-Up Day: Wednesday, November 25. This is a regular school day, done from home. Watch for details from your child's teacher next week.

Easter egg hunt! The 🕵🏼‍♀️ is hiding somewhere new this week (this one doesn't count!) . Email us or stop by the office when you find it for a small treat.

The Warrior Way: Respect God · Respect Others · Respect Learning

Our second quarter chapel offerings being collected to sponsor our Christmas families through the Lutheran Social Services. We are given this opportunity each year to share our blessings with those who are less fortunate. The chapel offerings will be used to purchase gift cards for gifts and food.

Lunch needs to be prepaid through the FACTS Family Portal. Once you've added funds, you'll be able to see all your lunch charges there as well.

If you had a credit remaining from last year, good news, it's already been carried over into your prepay account.
