Walgrove Weekly Message

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

Thank you to all who came to volunteer Saturday for our Volunteer Day with UCLA! You all made SO MUCH happy progress in the Wildlands, the Kinder Yard and more. THANK YOU! Thank you, Adam, Agata, Darcy and other awesome parents and Ms. B. for hosting and guiding!











Thank you to those parents who attended my Coffee and Diet Coke with the Principal Tuesday evening at 7pm, during which time we covered the District-mandated topic of how to keep children safe from adult grooming behaviors. 

At the next evening Coffee and Diet Coke with the Principal (Tuesday, October 9), we will cover the District-mandated topic of helping students understand and cope with big feelings that may lead to depression and/or personal crises. 

Reminders:

1) Please, please, please complete the Household Income Form online here https://hif.lausd.net/

If you already completed the hard copy, you MUST complete ONE FOR EACH CHILD. 

If you complete the online form, it's faster and you only need to complete one for the whole family. If you are unsure what you did, complete the online form TODAY

We need 100% of students to be represented via these forms. Every four years, we need this to determine important funding.


2) If you are taking students home that are NOT your children, please be prepared to show at the gate or in the office a text or email from the legal parent expressing permission to do so. This is very important for safety. Also, for convenience, please use the same gate each day, preferably Appleton for grades 4-5, Walgrove for grades 2-3, and Morningside for grades TK-1 (plus Mr. Matt and Mr. Steve). 

Also, no u-turns or 3-point turns in front of the school on any of the streets. Let's Be Safe!

3) Please bring your kiddos to school on time (school starts at 8:05) and have them stay for the duration. It is VERY hard to make progress if kiddos routinely arrive late or leave early.
