Principal's Weekly Update #29

Dear Wales Families,

As we wrap up Staff Appreciation Week, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful PTO and parent community. We were truly spoiled by your kind messages and the abundance of treats that filled our breakroom all week. We are so grateful for this unwavering community support; your active involvement doesn't just brighten our days—it creates a positive, nurturing environment that directly impacts the success and happiness of our school and your children. Thank you for making us feel so valued!

To all the incredible moms in our community—from the mothers of our students to our dedicated teachers who balance the roles of educator and parent—Happy Mother’s Day! This Sunday, we celebrate the tireless love, patience, and guidance you provide every day. Your influence is the foundation upon which our students build their confidence and kindness, and we are so grateful for the heart you pour into our school family. I hope your weekend is filled with the rest and appreciation you so richly deserve.

The weather finally cooperated and we were able to complete our last fire drill! Yippi!

News from the Intermediate building for third grade families: The II 3rd-to-4th Grade Transition Parent Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 26th at 6:00 PM in the Middle School Auditorium. During this session, parents will receive an overview of the programs, support services, school structure, staff, and opportunities available at Iroquois Intermediate School. The transition plan to support our students is attached below.

***Important update from the PTO. The May meeting date has been changed to May 14th 6pm at Wales Primary School.***

The PTO plant/flower sale pickup is May 8th 3-6pm out front of the school or in the shelter by the playground (depending on the weather).

This is a reminder that when your child is absent or tardy, legally we must have a note with a reason, upon the child's return to school. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
