Information
- It’s SPIRIT WEEK at WLE! Don’t forget to accessorize according to the theme of the day!
- Thank you to all the WLE community members who have been so generous for our Christmas Bureau appeal. There is a lot of sorting to do, now, and the donations are being delivered to the families on Wednesday!
- Report Cards were issued on Friday. This letter regarding changes to the report card went home on paper and should have come in an email as well a couple of weeks ago. We are seeking parent feedback on the report cards through this . Part of what will help the new curriculum work is a more steady demonstration of student learning to parents. Ask your kids about their class blog or SeeSaw. Look at the work they’re generating and storing on their google drive. Ask them to teach you something they’ve learned.
- The Langley School District are beginning a consultation process around Middle School implementation in the Walnut Grove region. These changes could impact the younger students in our school. This letter went out, inviting parents to be a part of the process.
- So the winner of the Candy Guess during Mrs. Janzen’s class’ business fair wants to raffle off the prize. For $0.50 a ticket, or 3 for $1, students can buy a chance, with proceeds going to the Christmas Bureau families/Langley Food Bank. Tickets will be available one day only: Tuesday December 13.
- WLE is a point of sale for the 2017 Township of Langley Firefighters’ Calendar. We now have have the TOL Firefighters Calendar available in the office at $20 per copy.
