Resource:
1st and 2nd grade students who were able to check out library books this week, make sure you are enjoying reading your books. Make sure you know what day you go to the library and be ready to bring them back to library class next week to swap them for a new one! If you have any WPS library books, even from last year, you can still turn them back in. Thanks so much *Mrs. Edwards
School Nurse
Please continue to send your child to school with a mask.There are many that are getting off of the buses in the mornings and do not even have a mask with them. Mask wear may not be much longer,however it is still mandatory, and until it is not, be sure your child has a mask on. We are looking forward to a great week next week!
