Wednesday, September 21st
This year's Picture Day is coming up! Destiny Borland of Identity Photography will be here to take individual school pictures and class pictures. Please see the Weekly news for the link to the order form. Or, please pick up an order form for your child's school pictures at the Front Desk. Pictures will be taken outside on the Willowwind lawn. Please consider our outdoors location when selecting a Picture Day outfit for your child.
HARVEST FEST:
Saturday, September 24th 2:00 - 4:30
Our annual Harvest Fest is this Saturday with live music, games, and food. I hope to see you there. Please visit Willowwind's Facebook page as well as the Weekly News email for more information. Thanks to Dana, James, and Kari for organizing the Wolves' gift basket, as well as to all parents who donated materials.
FALL CAMPING TRIP:
Wednesday, October 12 - Thursday, October 13
Did you all receive the e-mail last week with the details for our camping trip on October 12? Please be in touch with your questions. I have had many parents kindly offer to assist with supplying food and tents. If you are able to pitch in and help the camping cause, and wish to sign up to bring a specific food item or loan us a tent, please click here to do so and plan to send the item to school by Tuesday, Oct. 11. It is incredibly helpful to have assistance in providing the needed items to make our trip a success. Thank you in advance for all help with supplies!
IOWA ASSESSMENTS:
The Iowa Assessments will be given October 17 through 21. Testing will happen from 8:30 to 10:00 each day. The rest of each school day will follow a normal schedule. Please be sure your child gets a good night's sleep and an extra good breakfast on those days. I will give less homework that week. It is a longstanding tradition that students at Willowwind are allowed to chew sugarless gum during the testing time. It will not be allowed after the test is over. Please send enough gum to have a piece at the beginning of each testing session. Finally, please have your child at school by 8:20, so that we can begin promptly at 8:30. Let me know if your child is sick on a given day, so we do not wait for your child. We will arrange times to make up the assessment if your child is absent. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
