Veteran's Day Assembly - Thursday, Nov. 9
What is Parent Check-in Day on the WJ School Calendar?
Our first "Parent Check-in" is Friday, October 20th. Terreton Campus Teachers will be at school from 8:30am to 12:00pm (break for lunch) and then from 1:00pm to 3:50pm. Hamer Teachers will be at Hamer Elem. from 7:45am to 3:00pm. (Some teachers have scheduled meeting times with parents. If you have a scheduled meeting time, please stick to that schedule.)
Parents are invited to communicate with their children's teachers in one way or another during this Check-in Day. Teachers will be available to meet with you in person and/or communicate with you using the WJ App (Rooms), email, etc. We encourage all parents to log in to Otus from home ahead of time to check their children's grades. (If you are unable to log in to your parent account, have your kids log in to their account to show you their grades.) If needed, Mr. Reyna, our Tech Supervisor, can help with Otus or WJ App log-ins. reynaj@wjsd.org
Teachers are looking forward to communicating with parents to support our wonderful students. Please don't wait until the end of the Semester to address concerns.
We had some special visitors at Terreton Elementary School on Tuesday. Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department came to eat lunch with the students. They visited with the kids, answered lots of questions, and even found the swings! All elementary schools in Jefferson County have been visited by the police officers. Hamer Elementary students enjoyed eating lunch with them last month.
Thank you to the Jefferson County Deputies for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come to our schools!

PICTURE DAY - Tuesday, August 29th for Terreton Elementary, WJ Junior HIgh, WJ High School, and Staff
We are using a new photographer this year! We are excited to have Josh Petersen Photography here to take school photos.
See the attached image for pricing information.
Please note: The order form says that you need to order a package in order to purchase add-ons. After clarification from the photographer, you can buy items off the add-ons list WITHOUT purchasing a package. Just indicate that on the form. Also, if you have more than one child, you can write one check for all children, just write it on the order form. The more you communicate, the less confusion.
Any questions can be sent to info@joshpetersen.com.
Sports photos WILL NOT be taken on this day and will be scheduled at a later date.
Bus message for parents and students using the bus stop near Sage Junction.
If parents are not at the bus stop on time in the morning, they will need to drive their kids to school.
If parents are not at the bus stop in the afternoon, Nyla would need to keep the students on the bus and meet the parents somewhere else on the route.
