Weekly Update 11/15

 Dear Wines Families, 

Before we get into this week’s news, I want to be sure to thank Jen and Brad Hinesman for once again coordinating the Science and Builders Fair last week. It was another wonderful event full of great work from our students and a fun atmosphere overall. Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped make the event so great! 

Report Cards

Term 1 report cards will be sent via secure email delivery on Tuesday, Nov. 21st. Grades K-5 will also receive NWEA assessment results (Young 5’s do not take the NWEA). 

Thanksgiving Food Drive

It's time for the annual Wines Thanksgiving Food Drive! Please support Washtenaw County and Food Gatherers by bringing in non-perishable items beginning today through Tuesday, November 21st. Boxes are in the entrance of the school building. The most needed items include food such as soups, canned meats, pasta, rice, kid-friendly snacks, and baby food / formula. There is also a need for personal care items such as diapers, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.

PTO Meeting Nov. 29

Mark your calendars for our next PTO meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 29th at 7:00 in the Wines library. There will also be a Zoom option (Zoom information will be forthcoming).

Car Line Reminder

This message is primarily to families using the Cooley/Kindergarten lot but applies to everyone. In order to keep our line moving efficiently and safely, please do not get out of your car to assist your child to enter or exit the vehicle. At this point in the school year, it is our hope that all students can do this independently. If this is not possible, please park in a designated parking spot and walk your child to or from the car. Thank you! 

No School Next Wednesday-Friday

Just a reminder that next week is a shortened Thanksgiving holiday week with no school Wednesday through Friday.
