Principal's Letter to Patrons

August 7, 2006

Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. I am thrilled to have an opportunity to work with you and your children and I am looking forward to having them back in school.

Our Back-to-School Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for students in first – sixth grades. Please go directly to your child’s classroom. Kindergarten students can come at the following times:

  • Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Werner’s morning classes are invited to come from 5:30-6:30 p.m.
  • Mrs. Werner and Mrs. Whitaker’s afternoon classes are invited come from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Kindergarten students will meet individually with their teachers August 20 – August 28. Be sure to schedule a time with your child’s teacher at Back-to-School Night. Kindergarten begins regular sessions on Wednesday, August 29.

The first day of school is on August 20 for first – sixth grade students. SEP Conferences for first – sixth graders will be held from August 20 – August 31. School will be in session from 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. during conferences. Please be sure to schedule a time with your child’s teacher at Back-to-School Night. Students in first – sixth grades begin their regular hours Tuesday, September 4.

New times:
Monday – Thursday: 8:30 a.m.- 3:15 p.m.
Friday: 8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.


We love your children and want their day to get off to a good start. Every Moment Counts! Please plan on having your children arrive at school by 8:20 a.m. so they have time to go to their classrooms, say hi to their friends, put their things away, and be in their seats ready to learn by 8:30 a.m.

Scooters and bikes will be parked on the bike racks during school hours. Because many children ride scooters to school, there isn’t enough space for them in the classrooms. If your child is planning on riding a scooter or bike to school, you might want to get a lock so it can be secured. Please do not bring skateboards to school; we don’t have space to store them. For the safety of all children, scooters, bikes, etc. cannot be used on school property from 7:50 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Students are to walk with their equipment when they come to school property. I appreciate your support in helping all children be safe.

School lunch is $1.50 and breakfast is $1.00. Breakfast is served from 7:50-8:15 a.m. Free and reduced lunch applications are included with this mailing (applications need to be submitted each year). If you want to apply, complete the form and submit it to the
office promptly. You will be responsible for paying for your child’s lunch/breakfast until it is approved. You will be notified when it is approved.

The only Wasatch student drop-off area before school is just south of the school on the blacktop. Additional parking has been added in the front of Wasatch; there is no parking or vehicle drop-off or pick-up available for Wasatch in back of the school.

Please call or come see me if you have questions or concerns. We all want to make sure that your child has a great educational experience at Wasatch Elementary. Working in partnership with you, this will happen!

Sincerely,


Colleen Densley, Principal
