Parking Problems
I know that picking up children at WB can be very challenging.  However, we all need to abide by some guidelines which we feel have served us well this last few years.

There have been some parents who are "double parking" in the pick up lanes and then leave their cars unattended to meet their children.  This is a BIG no, no.  We want the traffic to flow as much as possible and this prevents other cars from exiting in the passing lane and so slows up everyone.
Never leave a car unattended in the pick-up lane when dropping off or picking up children and never double park your vehicles.
Thank you for your attention.

Last week, via e-mail, directions for viewing your child's progress on line were sent.  If you did not receive an e-mail because you may have changed it since registering in the fall, please send Lynda Cronin your new address and we will resend the directions.

Library Books
Mrs. Kaminski and Mrs. Hausfeld, our library teacher and teacher assistant have told me that there are many books that are coming back with very wet pages.  When that happens, the books cannot always be saved.  Please be sure that you keep all your library books in a safe area at home and at school.

Send pictures to Diane for the yearbook 
As I walked around during our Harvest Day parties, I saw many of you taking a plethora of photos.  We really need you to share all those memories with our yearbook crew.  Just send them to Diane Sheeks by e-mailing them to her at sheeksfamily88@sbcglobal.net.  (For those of you who may not know exactly how to download your pictures and attach them to an e-mail, please stop in and we'll either schedule a time for you to get some lessons from one of our staff members or, if Mrs. Kaminski is available in the library, I
know she would be glad to offer her assistance.)
