Walgrove Weekly Message 01/30/2023

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

We hope you have been enjoying a peaceful weekend despite challenges. 

Here are a few announcements:

Local Superintendent Dr. Adaina Brown will no longer be overseeing Local District West (which is now called Region West). She will be an Officer in the Human Resources division overseeing Equity and Inclusion. The new Interim Superintendent for Region West will be Dr. Denise Collier. 

STEAM Studio Teacher Jennifer Racusin has also transitioned into another role. We thank her for her service thus far. We are determining next steps for the Upper Grade STEAM Studio classes. In the meantime, our own certificated teachers are very adept at leading STEAM projects. More details to come!

Here is some of what is coming up this week at Walgrove.

Menchie's after school. Remember to walk, not run, and please be kind. Students, please do not invite yourself into another student's $20 bill. Parents, if you are able to provide for more than your own child (Menchie's are $5; 20% goes to Walgrove), please do so via Venmo (new account coming soon) and we will steer those dollars to those who are both in need and desire. (Not everyone wants their kiddos to partake.)

We will continue to offer Menchie's as an after-school fundraiser so long as it brings out the best in our kiddos.

Walgrove Weekly Message 01/09/2023

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

Welcome back after three weeks of rest and relatives (hopefully not relative rest!)

I can't wait to see you all tomorrow!!!

Per Superintendent Carvalho's phone message, it is recommended that you take the COVID tests that were provided right before Winter Break to ensure that you are coming to school COVID-free. 

If your test is negative, yay. There is nothing to do! Just come to school and either mask or not. Masking is recommended but is still your choice. 

If your COVID test is positive:

> Upload your positive test (with identifying info) to the Daily Dashboard/Parent Portal

> Notify the office

> Isolate for 5+ days (until negative, or until 10 days have passed)

> Tell close contacts to mask for 10 days

If your kiddo is coughing or sneezing, and it is not COVID but is also not allergies, please keep them at home. Please do not send sick kiddos to school with anything contagious. We will have to send them right back home. Thank you for your understanding.

Here is some of what is coming up this week at Walgrove:
