Thank you Mrs. Newman for capturing our students hard at work!

There have been some AMAZING things happening in the junior/senior high school... from building thinking classrooms in pre-calculus, to analyzing pond water & identifying organisms using a field guide in 7th grade science, to thinking out loud in a Socratic Seminar to have a deeper understanding of a text in 7th grade ELA, to conducting a chemistry lab on the Mole Concept, and to creating Picasso self-portraits and poems along with collages in the junior high literature and fine arts class. It is so awesome seeing students actively engaged in their learning!
Mrs. Gomez's Kindergarten class earned 10 stickers for displaying above and beyond behavior as a class, and as a reward, students got to bring their "stuffys" from home for the day!

Attention Seniors/Senior Parents:
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is revamping their entire application. This has pushed the application's opening Day from October to some time in December. They will be making the Application shorter and will be pulling more information from your taxes electronically. If you would like to get a head start on this, you can create your FSA ID. (Both parents and students will need an FSA ID). I will be keeping you posted as information comes. Please contact me (Mrs. Seiden) if you have any questions.

Friday afternoon, our 1st grade classrooms had special visitors, Deputy Martinez, Deputy Blume, and Deputy Orlando. During class, Deputy Martinez read the story, "I Want to Be a Police Officer" explaining different jobs of various officers such as state troopers, patrol office, and the K-9 unit. Deputy Blume answered student questions regarding their role as patrol deputies. Deputy Orlando brought a 911 simulator to have students practice how to dial 911, answer emergency questions, and participate on the dispatch side during a 911 call. Thank you Henry County Sheriffs Office for volunteering your time to educate our WES students on emergency protocols!
How about those Titans! Huge 35-0 win over United tonight.
