Covid 19 Update

WSE Parents and Families,

We want to let you know we are doing everything we can to keep you informed on district and school based information. Please check the SCS and WSE website daily for updated information. The WSE website houses all district information as well as the link for our WSE Remote Learning Website. There are links for grade level resources and activities. 

WSE encourages you to print or pick up the SCS learning packets each week. Teachers are working to create lessons that align with the district packets and skills as well as other engaging activities. Teachers will communicate with parents via their classroom communication methods and will upload lessons on their school websites. Please reach out to your child's teacher or the admin team. We will be here to support you every step of the way. 

We wish you all safety and health during this time.

March Parent Tidbits

March

1. Get ready for test day 
   Many schools will begin standardized testing this month or next. Make a note of the schedule on your family calendar so you can be sure your children get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast on test days. WSE will take our Spring Screener March 23-April 3. TCAP will begin the week of April 13.
2. Read some more 
   National Read Across America Day is March 2. Take time at home to read aloud on this day with your kids, and have them take turns reading to you. Encourage older children to read on their own and to their younger siblings. Anything that interests them—from comic books to the classics—counts! And if you haven't taken the pledge to have your kids read at least 20 minutes a day, go to parenting.com/pledge and make the promise now!
3. Get art smart 
   Exposure to art and music can help your children excel in math, problem solving, and reading, and help them develop teamwork skills and self-esteem. Check out the resources on free.ed.gov, and then do your part at home. Replenish your arts-and crafts supplies. Let your kids experiment with inexpensive music-makers like a harmonica, a recorder, or an old guitar. Check out child-friendly music CDs and art books from your library. Urge older siblings to join their school's choir, band, or drama program.
4. Plant a garden 
   Kids learn firsthand about weather, plant life cycles, and nutrition when they help grow their own garden.
