The Wallin Way Weekly Newsletter

Good Evening K9 Families,

What a wonderful week at Wallin Oaks! Our building was buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and so much great learning. Students jumped into new challenges, collaborated with their peers, and showed such pride in their work. We also had so many joyful moments in classrooms and around the building that reminded us just how special our school community is.

As we head into Thanksgiving break, we want to wish all of our Wallin families a restful, joy-filled holiday. We are grateful for your partnership and for the amazing students you share with us each day. Enjoy the time with loved ones, and we’ll see everyone back soon!

Children First,

Dr. Marie Zlotnikov, Principal

Samantha Helland, Assistant Principal

We kindly ask all families to notify both the classroom teacher and the main office if your student will be absent for any reason. Clear communication helps us ensure accurate attendance records and maintain a safe, organized school environment.

Additionally, if there are any changes to your child’s transportation plans—such as switching from a bus rider to a car rider—please inform the main office directly. Our office staff will relay the information to the appropriate teacher.

Lastly, for the safety and efficiency of our drop-off procedure, please pull all the way forward in the car line and have students exit the vehicle on the side of the school.

Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly!

For the safety of all students, we kindly ask that families do not park at Ira Jones during morning drop-off. Instead, please use the designated car line, which is designed to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently.

To help maintain a steady flow, we also ask that drivers remain in their vehicles at all times during drop-off. Following these procedures ensures a safe and smooth start to the day for everyone.

Please remember to turn off your car while waiting to pick up your student after school. Running cars pose a safety risk for students and teachers walking up and down the car lines, and it's also important to reduce the fumes in the air for everyone’s health. Thank you for helping us keep our school environment safe and healthy!
