You have received district communication this past week about what next week will look like. As you know, things keep changing. We want to provide resources for you and your family. In just a matter of days, so much has been added to your plate. Please know you are not in it alone. If you need anything during this time, WYE is an email away. Our teachers are also ready and willing to help, just an email away. Starting Monday, our building will be closed until April 6th. Please feel free to reach out to us.

Please know that during these times, there is no expectation of perfect. Our staff have worked to give you resources to help create some normalcy for your kids, but we most definitely don't expect you to do it all in one day, there will be many choice items. We know that you have so many other things you are trying to shuffle.



Starting on Monday, March 23rd families are invited to pick up food daily at WYE from 11-1pm Monday-Friday. WYE will also be handing out learning resources to families on Monday, March 23rd and Tuesday, March 24th from 11am-6pm.

We ask that all our families drive up to WYE to pick up their flexible learning plans/packets and food items. Food will continue to be served at WYE from 11-1 throughout the week. If you know of someone that needs food, email me, and we will work to get assistance asap.

Things to keep in mind:
• Stay in your car at all times please!
• When you get to the food pick up site please have the sign from the parent email posted or let the staff member know who your child(ren) is(are). That staff member will radio to the packet pick up location that you are coming and will have the materials ready.
• Please open your trunk if you are picking up food. WYE staff will place the meals in your trunk.
• Once the staff member gives you the go ahead, please continue forward to the packet pick up distribution. For the safety of all, we are keeping traffic to a single file that runs the length of the school. We will have staff come to your car with the materials. Again, please pop your trunk and we will place them in there for you.

I cannot wait to meet your child and watch him/her change and grow and learn. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your child's life. My philosophy is open communication. Please contact me whenever you have a question or concern.  I will do the same for you. Everyone’s input is important as we work together to create a school where all students can be successful. As a parent or guardian, your interest and involvement with your child’s education will promote a positive attitude toward learning and academic achievement. We have several tools to keep you updated throughout the year including monthly emails, teacher newsletters and our school website along with twitter.  Thank you to all who are helping prepare for the new school year. Your commitment to ensuring that WYE remains a celebrated and successful school is awe-inspiring. I eagerly look forward to greeting students and all WYE families again.
