PTO MEETING TUESDAY 7:00 – 8:00 PM

Please join us for the January PTO Meeting Zoom information will be provided in aN email. We hope to see you there!

Save-the-date: February 1 –  February 14

The Scholastic Book Fair starts next week: February 1 - 14! It is fully virtual so you can access it through our Book Fair homepage LINK.

This time around we are going to highlight our teachers and celebrate them as they face the challenges of returning to school for hybrid learning. In lieu of our normal Teacher Wishlist bins at the in-person Book Fair, we invite you to contribute to your classroom’s Scholastic Book Fair eWallet. Your classroom teacher will soon send you a link to their classroom eWallet in their weekly newsletter and/or email. On your teacher’s eWallet page you can add dollars that they can spend during the Fair.

Let’s help our teachers start in-person learning with a fresh classroom library!

You can start loading the classroom’s Scholastic Book Fair eWallet as soon as you get the link from your teacher. We are collecting the teacher eWallet links on this google doc as soon as we receive them from teachers: https://bit.ly/3o9XOFn. If you don’t see your teacher’s name, let them know you want to add money to their classroom’s Scholastic Book Fair eWallet.

The deadline to contribute funds is February 10.

That gives your teacher time to pick out books from the online catalog before the Fair ends on February 14.

Please share the love of reading with your classroom.

Don’t forget: The Online Fair will feature:

• A Virtual Fair (360-degree room) that mimics our in-school fair that kids can browse and shop from
• A vast online catalog with over 6000 items
• Books will ship directly to you 
• Shipping is FREE with book orders over $25

All purchases support our school and earn 25% in rewards that we can use for books and materials for the classrooms.

We did a bang-up job in fall -- but we want to exceed our funds raised and get more books into the hands of our scholars. Our goal this time around is 438 books! We can do it! If we make our goal, we will earn an extra 10% of our total sales in rewards.

WHITTIER’S

VIA ZOOM

As we are continuing to seek opportunities for students to socialize with one another we are trying out remote lunch bunch groups. Please look at the Tuesday Newsday newsletter for live links that your student is welcome to click at the times and days below to chat with friends. A Whittier staff member will be supervising students. The same remote expectations are expected during this time.

K-2   11:20-11:50 on Mondays, Tuesdays & Fridays

3-5   11:40-12:10 on Mondays and Thursdays

We want to give students the opportunity to grab their lunch to eat in addition to get some fresh air/have some downtime before resuming school at 12:15. There’s no pre-registering for now. We understand our younger students may need assistance logging onto the link because it is separate from their teachers’ link. If we need to adjust things as it evolves we will be sure to communicate this out to you. Thank you for working with us in advance.
