Notes from Ms. Heffron
September 27, 2007
Generally during the week that the PTO newsletter is distributed I do not write a principal letter. This week there are a couple timely things that I want to let you know about so today in the folder, you will receive this letter and the PTO Cougar Chronicle.
As you know, all classes are scheduled for specials classes at set times during the week. (art, music, physical education, Spanish, library) A class may have Physical Education on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Art on Tuesdays and so on. When we do not have school on a particular day, the class misses any special classes that they are scheduled to have that day. In order to try to equalize the number of times any one class is missed, we artificially change one day's schedule into another. We call these changes 'Switch Day Schedules.' On Monday, October 1st, instead of following a Monday schedule, we will be following a Friday schedule. So, students who have band or orchestra on Fridays will need to bring their instruments on Monday. Students who have PE need their tennis shoes on Monday. Teachers usually note these Switch Days in their weekly newsletter and I will mention them in my Thursday letter. I am letting you know of Monday's schedule because we have just finalized the switches for the year and teachers may not have time to let you know. The web page shows these days on the calendar www.wfbschools.com follow the calendar link on the top of the screen.
Walk to School Day is an event that we hold each year. There is more information about this in my letter in the Cougar Chronicle. In case you do not get to that publication until later, though, I want to let you know that our Walk to School event is next Wednesday, October 3rd. See you on the playground before school!
