Walgrove Weekly Message

Dear Walgrove Families and Staff, 

Thank you for a fruitful first two weeks of the 2024-2025 school year. 

Friendships are forming and kiddos are learning!

Teachers and staff are working as hard as ever to deliver their best!

Thank you, teachers and staff, for your incredible efforts; thank you, parents, for your support; and thank you students for being so brave and exuberant!

Here are a few reminders:

Tutoring to start soon. Not yet, but soon. Shaina will reach out in the coming days to register your kiddos (if she hasn't already). The District start date changed. So, we are rolling with it!

Most enrichments to start right after Labor Day. Yay for STEAM Studio, Garden, Theater, Chess and Library! 

A big thank you to the 4-5 team for teaching theater on their own before our theater teacher arrives! Who better to inspire kids to perform if not the extremely talented Ms. Kathy Elkins?!

Most after-school programs will start mid-September. They are all FREE.

Violin meets Fridays 2:32-3:15. Sign up for Violin here:

NEW FAMILIES, please complete your Household Income Forms here: https://hif.lausd.net/ We need 100% of families in the system. 

Please register for the Parent Portal here (and attach your kiddo. Your teacher knows the student ID and parent PINs): https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/

First-grade families, remember to use the Walgrove Gate (on Walgrove Avenue) starting Monday to more evenly distribute traffic around the block. 

All families, if you have the time and inclination (and want extra safety and diminished stress) walk to school OR park on Maplewood and walk around the block to Walgrove. 

DURING THE INSTRUCTIONAL DAY, PLEASE DO NOT OBSERVE OR SPEAK TO YOUR CHILD/REN THROUGH THE FENCE. INSTEAD, COME THROUGH THE FRONT OFFICE AND OBSERVE OR VOLUNTEER (BY APPT). 

Thank you for your flexibility and partnership!
