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

Also, as a reminder, our Title I Annual Parent Meeting will take place at 4:00 pm via Zoom.

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
