Friday, October 8 @5:00 on Wales Campus
The Wales PTO is hosting a campus-wide Color Run!!!! Wear your own white t-shirt - crazy and colorful accessories are strongly encouraged. All participants receive sunglasses, a bandana, AND a packet of color to throw out at the BIG COLOR BLAST PARTY!
All proceeds help to raise funds for a replacement play structure for one of our oldest pieces of equipment that our whole campus will enjoy!
Pick Up/Drop Off Line Rules
We would like to thank everyone for their patience while new families learn the pick up line procedures. Here are a few good reminders about the pick up/drop off lines, and a reminder that these can also be found on the Wales Website under the Family Resources Tab.
Drop Off
1) Be Prepared!
While you are waiting in the line for drop off, get in all of your kisses in, hard buckles opened, and put backpacks put in laps. This way, when your car stops at the back of the building, students will be set up to jump out right away. Practice this at home. Have learners practice opening and closing their own door.
2) Head to the Closest Door
Students should enter the building in the door closest to where their car stops.
3) Do Not Pull Out
This is for safety. Do not pull out of line until the car in front of you pulls out.
Pick Up
1) Enter in the High School Parking Lot
This helps ensure the busses get in our parking lot without getting stuck by cars. There should be no cars entering in the Wales Campus Parking lot after 3:15pm.
2) Pull Up
Your car should be pulled all the way up in the car line before you stop. Then, your child should come to YOU.
3) Buckle Help? Pull Out of Line
If you students need help with their buckles, please pull out of line and over by the playground to get them adjusted.
A Note from Mrs. Wieczorek - Our Library Media Specialist
Help Needed! Join Our Team!
We are looking for a parent or guardian to help out by supervising our cafeteria. The hours are 10:45 - 1:30 and follows the school calendar. Currently, we have another supervisor who is will to either job share, or just sub when needed. It's the perfect option for a stay-at-home parent who wants to earn a little extra, build relationships with their kids and their peers, and interact with your school staff on another level.
Picture Re-Take Day
Picture re-takes will take place on Friday, October 8th at our campus building. Both Wales and Explore will be able to get retakes if they would like. If you would like your child to partake in re-takes, you do not need to fill anything out, but please let your learner's teacher know that they should get their picture taken that day. And email will be sent to you a few weeks later with the updated pictures and ordering information included.
Blessings In a Backpack
There are many hungry kids throughout our area, and we are trying to make sure that those kids who need the food receive it from our organization. If you wish for your student(s) to participate in the program, you do not need to do anything.
If you choose to OPT OUT of this program, you can either: sign the form sent home and return it school or fill out this Google Form.
Free Hot Lunches
As a part of the CARES act, we are still able to offer free hot lunches for all students. In order for the lunch to be free, students must take one of every food group option available.
Milk will be available for students who bring cold lunch for a minimal cost.
