Back to School Updates


Posted Date: 08/27/2024

Dear WIS Families,

We are so excited for the first day of school on Tuesday.  Here are some first day reminders for you.

Meet the Teacher - Grade 3 students

  • Meet the Teacher for third grade students is tomorrow, Monday, August 26 from 1:30-2:15. This is an open house style event. You do not need to stay for the entire time, but it is a great way for the students to quickly meet their teacher and see their new classroom.  
     

Dismissal Manager

  • Please be sure to submit your dismissal manager plans each day by 1:00pm. Teachers will dismiss students based on dismissal manager plans. This is very important. We recommend that you let your child know ahead of time if there will be a change in dismissal plans so they will not be confused when the dismissal plans are shared with the students.

Snacks and Lunch

  • Students need a snack and a refillable water bottle every day. All of our classrooms are peanut free so snacks should be peanut free as well. 
  • Students can bring their own lunch or buy lunch in the cafeteria.  If they are buying lunch at school, please visit the district website for lunch menu information and payment options.

Bus and Car Transportation

  • We will have lots of staff on hand for the first day of school to help students find their classroom. Please make sure third grade students have the tags we sent home on their backpack - this will make it easier to help students find their teacher and room.
  • If you are picking up your child by car at dismissal, please have a large sign on your dashboard with your child's first and last name in large block letters. This will help facilitate the pick up process. All cars pick up in the car loop.  
  • Bus pick up and drop off times can vary on the first week of school as drivers and students get acclimated to the route. Please allow for variability in times for the first few weeks of the school.  Questions or concerns about bus stops or bus transportation can be directed to Theresa Taylor at First Student at 203-454-1984 or theresa.taylor@firstgroup.com

Please add the absence line number to your phone contacts. If your child will be absent from school or tardy please call 203-221-6331 as early as possible. 

 

 

Sincerely,

Patricia Falber 

Principal
