Our students have made a fantastic start this year, mastering their arrival and dismissal routines. On Monday, August 31st, we will celebrate Whiteside Independence Day. Students will showcase their independence by unpacking their belongings and getting their own breakfast. A big thank you to our parents for supporting this journey toward independence! September is also Attendance Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of being at school on time every day. If your child will be absent, please inform Mrs. Kaye in the office and provide a doctor’s note for any illness.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. Here’s to a wonderful September ahead!

Walking Wednesday begins Sept. 2! Walking Wednesday begins Sept. 2!

Walking Wednesday is one of our favorite parent engagement activities! Join your student during their PE time to walk, run, earn bands, and have fun! Pre-K students will not participate in Walking Wednesday. You will not need to enter the building, just meet students out back near the gym at their PE time. This week CIS will share information and tips for communicating with teachers through Rooms. Hope to see you there!

Rooms is your one place for school messages, updates, and more! You can access Rooms via the web (including mobile web) or your district's mobile app. Below you will find some resources to help you get started. If you need more help, reach out directly to your child's school!
