Important News

This note went home yesterday!

WBES will no longer be taking over the phone requests for changes to a student's transportation arrangements.

If you wish for your child to travel home by any way other than their normal means, you must send us a note requesting that temporary change or appear "in person" to request such a change.

We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause, but this is in the interest of each child's safety and is therefore necessary.

How to check if your book is an AR book?

If your child has read a book at home you can check at AR Book Find to see if it is an AR book.

Valentine's Day

Our Class will exchange Valentine Cards on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Please make sure you have a card for each child in the class. We will also have special snack. If you would like to provide this snack please let me know.
