Whittier Families,
The first day of school is quickly approaching and we cannot wait! The first day of school is on Wednesday, August 14th.
Kindergarteners DO start that first day of school with everyone else. Kindergarteners have early out days those first three days of school. School ends for them at 1:40 pm each day that week. They will have lunch at school.
Please make sure you register your student(s) online for the 2024- 2025 School Year. Here is the link to register.

Registration is online and begins on Monday, July 29, but if you need assistance, you can come into the Whittier Office from 12-3 pm on Tuesday, July 30- Thursday, August 1st.
If you feel you qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch, you MUST go to the website to apply. Even if you were approved last year, you must reapply. The link is https://paypams.com/applynowgranite
If that isn’t done and approved, you will need to pay for your child’s school breakfast and/or lunch.
Follow us on social media using our Instagram and Facebook accounts. We post LOTS and it will keep you well informed (and it’s fun!).
Falcon DROP! Starting Monday, August 5th, we will post a picture on our Instagram and Facebook page. The picture will show a box full of Whittier Swag somewhere close by Whittier. Your job is to get there first! The first person there, wins the SWAG and their picture on our social media. We will post each weekday leading up to the first day of school. So be on the lookout! It’s time to DROP!
We won’t have a Back-to-School Event until Friday, August 23rd with a family movie night. But you can come over to Whittier on Friday, August 9th after 3:00 pm and Class Lists will be posted on the doors leading into the Office.
Whittier is looking for several positions on Community Council this year. If you have interest, please get a Letter of Intent form from our Whittier Office. The Whittier PTA is also looking for some more council members and volunteers for a variety of PTA activities throughout the school year.
Have a wonderful rest of your summer. I will try to keep the communication limited, but also keep you informed. We are THRILLED for this upcoming school year at Whittier where our Falcons SOAR!
Jennifer Bodell, Whittier Principal
