BULLDOG Note 11.21.25

We have some wonderful classroom events for parents coming up. Thank you for being part of the experience! We love creating opportunities each semester for families to see the learning happening at WYE. 

Bulldog Items:

Cold Weather:
The cold temps are here: Students will go outside until the temperature reaches 20 degree or lower, including wind chill.  Please ensure kiddos come to school with their coats.  

Lost and Found
·     The lost and found is overflowing! If your child is missing a lunch box, water bottle, or other clothing items they might be in the lost and found. Please encourage your child to look for missing items. These items are placed in the library hallway. Teachers will be walking students by to see if they recognize any of their belongings the week before winter break.  On Friday, December 19th any unclaimed items will be donated.

·     Our 3rd Annual Gallons of Gratitude is officially underway! Students can bring in donations each day and place them in their classroom bucket. All funds collected will help us purchase holiday gifts for WYE families in need of a little extra support this season

  •  The free and reduced meal application is always available for households to apply at any time. This includes income changes, furlough, and other challenges. If the shutdown impacts your family, we encourage you to apply for school meal benefits through SchoolCafe.  
  • Come join your student for lunch: Sign up here: Please complete a volunteer application to join us for lunch. https://wyelunch25-26.youcanbook.me/
