Principal’s Message:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Dear Weibel Families,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We have already reached the end of the first trimester. \u00a0Time goes by so quickly! \u00a0As we wrap up the first trimester, I hope all of you took the opportunity to make an appointment with your child\u2019s teacher for our parent-teacher conference week. \u00a0If you would like a translator for the meeting, please inform the teacher ASAP. \u00a0This is a great opportunity for you and your child to meet the teacher to discuss the areas of strengths and improvements in both social-emotional development as well as academic progress.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/span>

Thank you so much to everyone for all your support with the school fundraiser, Boosterthon. \u00a0Weibel raised close to $25,000 to support our school with student activities, such as the Magic Assembly coming in December. \u00a0The amount raised is before the percentage we owe Boosterthon. \u00a0Even with the dues, we still end up with a great amount of the donations. \u00a0This is due to the Corporate Match program. \u00a0I urge all of you to be sure to follow through with this. \u00a0This portion of the fundraiser is what makes it all worthy to work with Boosterthon. \u00a0Special thanks to our PTO group for setting all this up and creating another wonderful memory of our Wildcat Run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/span>

I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. \u00a0As we approach our first break, I wish everyone a safe holiday break. We do have many breaks coming along and your family may have some traveling plans. \u00a0If you already know of any absences, please call the front office. \u00a0Be sure to scroll down and read this newsletter in its entirety as there\u2019s so much information!<\/span><\/p>\r\n
<\/span>

Happy Holidays!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

BE ON TIME!<\/span><\/p><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\r\n

\r\n
Majority of the students who are late to school are late by only 1-2 minutes. \u00a0This can be changed with YOUR HELP! It’s really important to teach students about coming to school on time. \u00a0If you and your child are running to the school gate to meet the bell, that means you just need to leave your house 1-2 minutes earlier. \u00a0I know it’s easier said, but let’s show the students that with little change, we can make huge improvements. \u00a0<\/span>As we move on to the 2nd trimester, our office will be reaching out to families who are not meeting the 8:25am bell.<\/span>\r\n<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody>\r\n<\/table><\/td>\r\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n<\/strong>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Hi Parents\/Caregivers,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I hope you are doing well and staying warm as we transition into colder weather! I have enjoyed getting to know the students here at Weibel and look forward to continuing supporting them on the individual, group, and classroom levels.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Holiday season is coming soon and for many, it can be very overwhelming and stressful. If you\u2019d like to join me in prioritizing mental wellness this holiday season, here are two helpful resources from Care Solace that can help make that easier:\u00a0<\/span>Tips for Mental Wellness During the Break<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Gratitude Journal<\/span><\/a>\u00a0pages. The gratitude journal is just one example of an activity that you could do with the whole family!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As always, if you have any questions about the counseling services offered at Weibel or if you\u2019d like to refer your student to counseling, please don\u2019t hesitate reaching out. My goal this year is to make sure that\u00a0<\/span>all\u00a0<\/span>of our students feel supported and successful while they are here at school.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Warmly,<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Thank you to our Weibel Families for supporting our Scholastic Book Fair. \u00a0This was a fundraiser for our Library and generated $2172 in cash profit as well as $300 in books purchased from the book fair. \u00a0All profit goes directly toward purchasing new books for our Library. \u00a0Our generous families also donated 59 books to their teacher\u2019s classroom libraries! This could not happen without our dedicated PTO parent volunteers, and wonderfully supportive staff and teachers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\nDarcy Hawks,<\/span>
