Today is November 11th and it is Veteran’s Day. A veteran is a former member of the armed services or military. Branches of the military include the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, and veterans may have served during times of war or peace. Perhaps a member of your family is currently serving in the military. Or maybe a grandfather, aunt or distant cousin is retired from the armed forces. Or maybe you have a teacher who has served in the National Guard, like Ms. Burriss. We know that it is a sacrifice, as they leave their families to serve our country to protect our freedoms. So To all veterans of all branches: Thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you set for us all. In short, thank you for your service! To all those who have served, and those who continue to serve… Happy Veterans Day! Please watch the short video below created by Ms. Burriss to honor some of our student's family members who have served or are serving in the military. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-srXMUhEJBk

In partnership with the School City of Whiting PTO, we will be sponsoring a Family Fun Game Night on Monday, November 23rd!

We are looking for entire families to participate and we have some fun prizes for our winners! If you would like to participate, please complete the survey below no later than November 13th. Once the survey closes, we will reach out to you with the details of the event. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdQlMDrqPOUrWCKTP7-hlq-aIEmY70TIH4JPpcRtNYeDuY_oQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

Today is Parent/Teacher Conferences and all students are participating in eLearning. We would love your feedback on how conferences went, so when you complete your conference, please fill out a quick survey that will take less than a minute, letting us know how things went! Also, as a reminder, our Title I Annual Parent Meeting will take place at 4:00 pm via Zoom. The link is on our website and SCW app. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-viSmycEpQ8zT0xdevQAjTyZ8CAHH0b-wPGC9f2NRIqU2vg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Today is an EARLY RELEASE day! Students get out at 2:00 pm. Also, please remember that tomorrow is an eLearning Day for everyone. It is parent/teacher conference day. Students will still need to login to their classroom at 8:00 for attendance and to meet with their teacher. Make sure you have signed up for a conference time with your child's teacher!

REMINDER For full-time eLearning students ONLY! For students who are doing eLearning full time and not coming in at all in person, you will need to pick up second quarter materials. We will have a pick up TODAY, October 20th from 3:15-5:15 pm in the staff parking lot. This will be similar to our first round of material pick up, where parents stay in the car and pull up to the table by Door 10. I will pass you the materials through the window. Students need these materials for the second quarter, so it's important that they get picked up. Again, this is ONLY for those students who are doing eLearning full time and not coming to school.

Just a reminder that today is an Early Release Day! Every Wednesday is an early release day and Nathan Hale students get out at 2:00. WMS and WHS students dismiss at 2:20. Students are still released from their regular doors. As a reminder, anyone coming to pick up students on our school campus must wear a mask and social distance. Thank you!

We are very excited to welcome some of our students back this week in person following our A/B Hybrid schedule. Please view the following video and check out the slides under documents on our website to help you prepare for the big day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt2bzKL0A_M&feature=youtu.be

As we get ready to welcome back students in person on our hybrid schedule, we want to remind families of the child care options available at the Whiting YMCA for before and after school child care. The SCW provides students with both transportation and snacks in these programs. Check out their website for more information! https://operations.daxko.com/Online/5108/ProgramsV2/Search.mvc?keywords=school+age&program_id=&expanded=categories%2Clocations&coming_soon=False&all_categorie

Good morning and welcome back to another great week of learning! Please see the video below for our weekly announcements. Today is the first day of College Go! week and our theme is "Stay in School" and students dressed in their school spirit wear. Ms. Garcia, our child need's specialist, has posted lessons in classrooms for College Go! week, so students, be sure to check those out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJwECUrUu0&feature=youtu.be

Next week is College Go! week. We have some fun activities and spirit days planned for the week! Activities will be posted by our child need's specialist, Ms. Garcia, each day in See Saw and Google Classrooms. This is a great opportunity for you to share your own college and/or career experiences and discuss the skills and traits necessary to succeed past high school. Monday is "Stay In School!" and students can wear their Nathan Hale Spirit Wear. Tuesday is "Your Future is Bright!" and students can wear a bright shirt in neon colors. Wednesday is "Teamwork Pays Off!" and students can wear their favorite sports team shirt. Thursday is "Dress for Success!" This is a great opportunity for them to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. Friday is "Going to College" and students can wear their favorite college attire (Hint, hint... Boiler Up!)
