Mrs. Robinson's 4th Grade Class

Mrs. Robinson's 4th grade class created a flag to honor those who sacrificed their lives on September 11. The flag was passed around to each classroom in our building where each student signed their name as a way to say "thank you". Students submitted several designs for what our 9/11 flag should look like and through the process of democratic voting, this design was chosen. 13 red and white stripes would be accompanied by a blue rectangle displaying the message "In memory of those who sacrificed". Also on the blue rectangle are the names of 25 men and women who lost their lives on September 11. While participating in this project students used math skills to make the measurements for the flag, used their literacy skills in coming up with the flag's slogan, used technology skills in researching facts about September 11, used their creativity and art skills in coming up with a design and use cooperative learning to work together as a team.

9/11/11 Update

Thank you for your support as we continue to improve our drop-off and pick-up plan at Withamsville. Starting Monday we will add another drop-off and pick-up area. Parents will now be permitted to use the service drive (located on 125) at arrival and dismissal. If you use this drive you will only be able to exit right onto 125. To create two zones we will close the gate between the the two driveways. If you enter from Britton Blvd. you will also need to exit onto Britton Blvd. Staff will be available to unload and load students in both areas. We hope this new plan will help with traffic issues and also move things along more quickly. I hope you had a great weekend! Tonya Schmidt

All call 9/6/11

• All Kindergarten students must have a physical and shot record on file to be eligible to attend school.


• Remeber that you can turn right and use the service drive after you drop-off or pick-up your child each day. The traffic moves more quickly when heading East on 125.


• To make drop-off move more quickly please have your WT child sitting on the curb or passenger side of your vehicle.


• Many of you walked to pick up children today. If you plan to walk to pick up your child each day please send a note so we can release your student at 2:45 with walkers. Walkers will be released on the secondary exit located to the right of the main entrance.


• Kindergarten and 1st grade students need to walk with an older sibling or be released to an adult for safety reasons.

I appreciate your support as we work to improve our speed in the morning and afternoon. Tonya Schmidt, Principal

9/5/11Sunday all-call

Welcome back to school! It was wonderful to see so many families at Open House. I hope you are all excited to return to school on Tuesday. We are ready to kick off another great year at WT. Just a couple of reminders to make the first day run smoothly. We will begin releasing students from busses and cars at 8:45. All teachers will be outside to receive students in the morning. If you are walking your child please take them directly to the main entrance where you will leave them with a teacher from their grade level. Breakfast is offered on the first day of school beginning at 8:45. Be sure you send your childs backpack on the first day. Please be sure that you have returned the form that tells how your child will get home each day. Parents of K or 1st grade students that are walking need either an older child or adult to meet them each day. If you are picking up your child be sure you have your car tag. Remeber, for safety reasons, parents without tags will need to sign out thier child in the office. Thank you for your support as we get in our new routing of drop off and pick-up! Tonya Schmidt, Principal
