| Principal's Message | Thank you to those who attended and participated in our Common Core Math event last evening. We hope it was informative as our school district continues to implement Common Core State Standards. As a district we are also articulating with our high school district, Acalanes Union, to ensure smooth transitions with Common Core.
It is not too late to sign up and participate in our clean up day this Saturday from 9 am - 11 am. There will be waivers on site as well if you decide to come at the last minute.
Have a wonderful week.

Boxtops for Education
|
A big welcome to the sixth grade students and their parents! Now that your child is at WCI, you may be wondering what to do with all those Box Top coupons. Please keep collecting them, and just have your child drop them off in the library. There is a Box Top receptacle on the counter just waiting to be filled! All the monies earned buys new books for our wonderful library - what a great way to start another school year! There will be another Box Top contest with Target gift cards for the three students who turn in the most box top coupons! The contest will run from Monday, September 15, through Friday, October 24. The contest rules will be posted in the library next to the Box Top receptacle. Our goal is to collect LOTS of box top coupons - and we can do that with your help! If there are any questions, please contact Anne at shepwoods@comcast.net. And, of course, a big thank you to all the students (and their parents!) for their continuing support on behalf of the WCI library. |
