It's time for the Wattles Park Elementary Read-a-thon!
Read-a-thon promises to be a fun, exciting journey that starts Friday September 16, 2022. We will get your children excited about reading.
We know you have limited time but want the best education for your child. That’s why we hope everyone will activate their reader's account as soon as possible. This is where you can record and view your reader's progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/zcbliY/1 and following the simple instructions. This fundraiser helps buy more books for our school, and it funds our One Book, One School event this winter.
Playground Parking Lot-Please do not park in the grassy areas near Wattles Road. Cars parked in that area create a visual barrier for other cars trying to leave the parking lot onto Wattles Road.
Popcorn Friday's-We had our 1st popcorn Friday today. If you would like your child to receive popcorn every Friday, please send it $20 with a note. Students can also purchase weekly for $0.75.
NWEA MAP Testing-Over the next two weeks all students at Wattles Park will take a math and reading MAP test. This is a computer adaptive nationally normed test given to our student three time per year.
Attendance Line-Please call the Operation Concern line when your child has to be absent from school. 269-441-5855
Attendance Infractions-Tardies, Leave Earlies and Absences are all considered attendance infractions and are weighted the same in regards to truancy concerns. If a parent does need to pick-up a child early from school, we will call the child to the office when the parent arrives at school. It takes 5-10 minutes for a child to get down to the office once a parent arrives, so please plan accordingly.
Circle Area in Front of the School-This area is bus and staff only from 8:15-4:15 daily. We have buses that use this area throughout the day, and we have children walking along the sidewalks during the mid-day. Please help keep this area safe. Parents coming to the school during the day should use the playground lot.
