Dear Walker Families,
Walker students have been invited to sing the National Anthem at the Naturals game on Sunday, May 15th at 1:30 pm. Tickets are $9.00 and for every ticket we sell, half of the money goes back to the school to purchase music equipment. Because of this, every person coming must purchase a ticket. This includes the child singing. Please contact the office if you need to buy tickets.
Please mark your calendar with the following important dates listed below.

- Morning Routines: Car line Drop Off is between 7:15 and 7:45: Students cannot be dropped off at school before 7:15. Adult supervision begins at 7:15, and students cannot be unattended before adults are on duty. If your child arrives after 7:45 am, they need to be signed in to the office by a parent or guardian. You can scan the QR code on your car tag to do this; however, we ask that you still walk them to the front door. If students come up to the door by themselves and if no one is in the office, they are locked out. Thank you for helping us ensure the safety of all our Wildcats! All students can get a free breakfast from 7:15-7:45 in our cafeteria. Morning Choir Practice is at 7:15 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so the car line may be a bit more crowded at that time on those dates. Thank you for your understanding!
- Dismissal: School dismisses at 3:00 pm. If your child has a doctor's appointment and needs to be checked out early, we ask that you please bring a doctor's note to excuse his absence. We don't allow check-outs after 2:30 pm. Please plan accordingly. If you need to make changes to the way your child goes home, please call the office and make changes before 2:30 pm
- Car Line: Please remain in your car at all times in the car rider line. Students have worked very hard on becoming independent workers and learners this year, and helping them be independent in getting out of the car keeps everything running smoothly. The driveways and roads cannot be blocked when out on 40th Street in the car line, per Springdale Police Department.
- PTA: Did you know that you can support our PTA with your Amazon purchases and/or by purchasing a membership to our local Sam's Club? More information is linked below.
- Are you or someone you know looking for a job? We are looking for substitute teachers and bus drivers for the 2021-22 school year! If you are interested, please reach out to Mrs. Ryan or our district website for more information!
- Lost and Found: We already have a very large collection of items that are in our lost and found. Please make sure you have the student's name clearly marked on tags or inside a garment that may be removed throughout the day (coats/jackets, hoodies, etc.).
Our job is to serve your child and your family! Please let us know if you have questions or need help.
Thank you for your partnership,
Mrs. Lynn Ryan, Principal, lryan@sdale.org
Mrs. Carrie Farris, Assistant Principal, cfarris@sdale.org

How can you be more involved next year?
Now that parent volunteers can come back into our buildings we would like to encourage you to volunteer here at Walker. Before COVID we would have parents work with students, make copies and pull resources for teachers, and help with activities at school. I would also like to encourage you to get more involved with our PTA. We have many committees that need volunteers for next school year. If you would like more information or would like to work with our PTA please reach out to me at ewaterman@sdale.org!
