Note from the Teacher

      Thank you for a great start! We have had nice week learning about each other and getting settled into our class. I am happy to announce that our mini society, Dusty's Divots, has been established. The citizens are enthusiastic about their new jobs and most anxious to fulfill their responsibilities.

       Please pay close attention to the flyers  in your child's Friday folder.  There is important imformation concerning acadmic websites, usernames, and passwords. Also, check out 
the WCDS school t-shirt form.  I am excited to have the chance to purchase a new shirt to show school spirit and wear it on special days such as field trips, field day, etc. 

If have any questions or concerns,  just let me know.
