Principal's Message - April 12, 2024
4/12/24
Hello Wales Families!
We hope that everyone had a great week. It’s been a busy week at Wales! Our third-grade students returned to school from spring break to find new furniture in their classrooms. The buzz of their excitement felt like the first day of school!
We held our first Kindergarten transition session this week with next year’s incoming Kindergarten students. Families were able to learn about our school while their children had fun in the classroom with Clifford. Next week our third and fourth grade students will participate in the NYS ELA assessments. The assessments take about an hour to an hour and half for most students.
April is Autism Acceptance Month. Next week we will be learning about Autism, reading some stories about children with Autism and inviting everyone to wear Blue on Thursday 4/18 to help us recognize and raise awareness about autism acceptance and to continue to promote inclusion and connectedness for those with autism. Please join us in wearing blue on 4/18.
News from the PTO:
The order deadline to purchase yearbooks for Kindergarten through 2nd Grade is Monday, April 15th. Ordering is online only at ybpay.com. Use yearbook ID code: 12614224.
Yearbooks have been purchased for all 3rd and 4th grade students to celebrate their moving up and commemorate their time here at Wales Primary. If you wanted to order a package (or add-on) - in addition to the yearbook that has already been purchased for your 3rd or 4th grader - and missed the April 9th deadline, please contact Heather Shevlin at henikiel@gmail.com by April 15th to arrange for your order.
Square 1 Art orders are due by April 30th in order for them to count toward our school fundraiser. Go to www.square1art.com/shop to look up your child's artwork and place an online order.
The PTO has begun planning for Staff Appreciation Week coming up in May. We need your help! A SignUpGenius has been created for needed items to make the week extra special and show the staff at Wales how much we appreciate all that they do for our kiddos! Check it out at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0E4CABA62FA4FF2-49040006-wales
Have a wonderful weekend!
