Happy New Year Panther Family! I wanted to re-share the specials schedule with you as we kick off the second semester. Remember you have to look at both sheets to decipher what day and special your lil Panther(s) have. Tomorrow will be Day 1 on the calendar then you look at the rotation sheet and find your child's teacher(s) name to see what special they have on Day 1. Example: Cornish has PE on Day 1 (Tomorrow) and Music on Day 2(Friday). The calendar is set, so it will not bump for any reason. Please wear athletic clothes and tennis shoes on PE days. Keep being AWESOME!

Dear Parents and Guardians: Just a reminder regarding morning drop off. Students are tardy after 7:50 am. You will need to park your vehicle in the parking lot and you must walk your student to the door. We will have cones and signage in place please do not move them, park your vehicle in the designated parking spaces. From there, walk your student up to the front door of the school and ring the doorbell. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of all our students, and your support is crucial in achieving this goal.
Join the William Perry Watch D.O.G.S! Learn more about this great program at the William Perry website. https://www.waynesboro.k12.va.us/o/wpes/article/1337249. Being a Watch Dog Dad is a great way to become involved in your child’s educational journey. This program allows you to volunteer not only in your child’s classroom but in other classrooms as well.
