Dear Parents,

Whiteley School has had a wonderful start to the new school year!  All the students seem to be settling into the routine. 

Thank you for attending Parent Orientation on September 1, 2010.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the Whiteley School Family Picnic on Thursday, September 9th from 4:30 - 6:30 PM, which is sponsored by our PTA.  I hope that everyone joins the PTA during the membership drive.  We are very fortunate to have a great PTA that provides numerous events for our families. 

I expect every Whiteley Wildcat to follow our three very important rules:  Be respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.  Mrs. Liz Wong, our new Assistant Principal, and I met with each grade level the first day of school to review the importance of making good choices every day.  We recognize our students who regularly make positive choices by their participation in our whole school celebrations throughout the year.  Students who have three minor infractions or one major infraction are not allowed to attend the celebration for that time frame.  Those students are engaged in problem solving activities and can regain the privilege to attend the next celebration. 

Our staff is part of the No Excuses University Network.  Each classroom has adopted a university or college.  At our pep rally, I spoke to our students about how important their elementary school years are in their preparation for college.  In using Mrs. Zeivel's favorite phrase, they are "packing for college."  They are packing essential skills each year.  Some examples are:  listening, following directions, completing homework on time, and giving 100% effort to their learning.  Whether part of a classroom team or the whole school, we try to do the best possible and help others along the way.
