The Wallin Way Weekly Newsletter

Good Evening K9 Families,

What an amazing week it has been at Wallin Oaks! It has been one of those weeks where you can truly feel the positive energy throughout the building. Our students have been working so hard, supporting one another, and showing what it means to live out our school expectations each day. We continue to be so proud of their growth, not just academically, but as kind and responsible members of our school community.

Field Day is fast approaching on May 15th, and the excitement is definitely building! This is always such a special day for our students and staff, filled with fun, teamwork, and lots of smiles. You can click here to access our Field Day website for all the important details, including schedules and volunteer information.

Children First,

Dr. Marie Zlotnikov, Principal

Families experiencing financial hardship may be eligible for assistance with school fees. If this applies to you, please complete the attached hardship application. Information submitted is confidential.

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!
