Hello Western Hills Families!
We have been anxiously preparing and are thrilled to have finally started school! We have seen wonderful engagement with students online and excited students at school. Thank you! Western Hills is a wonderful place to be!
We quickly wanted to give (or remind) you of a few details…
FRIDAY DISTANCE LEARNING– Reminder-ALL students will be doing distance learning on Fridays. This means that face-to-face students will not attend school on Fridays, but will be learning at home. To help with this, Chromebooks will be going home with face-to-face students on Thursdays. Please bring Chromebooks back on Monday (in the bags they were sent home with) so your children can use them at school. Please help students remember to bring them back each week. Teachers have a list of which Chromebooks belong to each student. However, we are also sending the yellow ‘Chromebook Check-Out’ form that you signed last year. Please sign the form and send it back to school. Thank you!
MEAL SERVICE–Meal service is available for ALL students (both face-to-face and distance learners) on Fridays from 10:30-11:30am. Students may come to the side doors (where they picked up meals over the summer). They may pick up both breakfast and lunch during that time, or only one meal if they choose. Students will be charged for meals (unless they have applied and received free and reduced lunch). The address to apply is… https://www.myschoolapps.com/.
MEALS for DISTANCE LEARNERS–Distance learning students may pick up meals at the school (both breakfast and lunch) at the side doors Monday-Thursday from 10:25-10:40 am. Again, students will be charged for meals (unless they have applied for and received free and reduced lunch).
PERSONAL NOTE–Parents, I want to thank each of you for your patience as we are navigating this new world together. I know on-line learning can be difficult, and face-to-face learning also has its own challenges. I want you to know that we care deeply about keeping your children safe and well educated. Our teachers are amazing and I have seen them work so hard on your children’s behalf. We plan for this to be a wonderful and successful year.
Thank you again for being part of our Western Hills Family!
Mrs. Lovell
