Updates and Information

The "links" section of the blog has been updated to include a link for www.sendmoneytoschool.com.   This site is West Ottawa's new online payment and account viewing site for the school lunch program.

The Waukazoo PTA schedule is in your child's back-to-school packet.  Please consider being part of the PTA.  The Waukazoo PTA is a vibrant organization that works hard to support Waukazoo and its students!

The PTA is once again sponsoring a Fun Run/Walk Event.  This will kick-off almost immediately this fall.  The date of the Fun Run is October 1.  This is the only PTA fundraiser in the school and the funds raised cover many Waukazoo opportunities, including but not limited to:  Science Alive, Brainstormers, the Publishing Center, Discovery Days, Patriot's Day, the Tulip Time parade, playground equipment, field trips, teacher's supply budgets, and the Montessori 5th grade year end dinner.

Waukazoo's morning and afternoon procedures have not changed since last year.  But I am once again appealing to parents to take advantage of the school bus system if possible.  The parking lots at school are small and easily overwhelmed at the end of the day.  If your child lives along a bus route please have him or her ride the bus if at all possible.  Thanks!


Finally, the Upper Montessori students have their physical Wellness special on Tuesday.  Please make sure that gym shoes are in backpacks on the first day of school.  Students will be picking lockers and moving into both those and their cubbies on Tuesday.

The Upper Montessori parent night is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 14 at 6:30 p.m.  I just discovered that this is the same night as the September PTA meeting.  I apologize for this scheduling conflict, I didn't know the PTA meeting date when I planned my meeting.   If you will need to attend this month's PTA meeting please let me know and we will work around the meeting time.

I'm looking to a wonderful first day of school!
