Great
opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us
daily.
–Sally Koch
Welcome
back to
school, Waller Mill Stars and families!
We
have had a
great start to the school year, thanks to your assistance and
enthusiasm. The
students have been a joy to see this month; we missed them during the
summer!
There’s
much on
the agenda this month, as teachers get to know students and students
acclimate
to school and its routines. Please join
us for Back-to-School Night, Tuesday, September 18, 2007, at 6:30 p.m.
in the
cafeteria. This is an opportunity for
you to participate in a program to introduce you to our wonderful PTA
and to
our staff, their programs and expectations.
See you there!
We
appreciate your
support of our instructional and operational efforts at Waller Mill.
Instructionally, your child (grades 1-5) will bring home an agenda,
signed by
the teacher, outlining homework each evening. Please initial the agenda
after
the homework has been completed. Operationally, we’re practicing
safety at
school. We reviewed safety rules for the classroom and playground, and
we
participated in fire drills. In the coming months we’ll also
practice bus
evacuation, intruder, and tornado drills.
The
arts’ scene is
shaping up well this year. Our new drama
club plans to produce “Charlotte’s
Web” this fall. Mrs. DiFiore is looking for parents and locals
with talent to
share during Brown Derby Dining. The entire arts’ department is
planning our
annual student-created dinner theater for late winter.
The arts are alive at Waller Mill!
School
year office
hours are 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The office number is 220-4060 if
you need
assistance. Transportation can be reached at 898-0344 until all buses
are off
the road each evening. Leave a message and a dispatcher will return
your
call. As always, we’re here to help,
so
please let us know how we can best serve your child.
Happy
Fall!
