Dear Margaret Willis Parents,

Welcome back to the 2022-2023 school year! We are excited to begin another school year .We are committed to providing a safe, quality learning environment for your child. 

  Please connect with us through Class Dojo and our website. Your child’s teacher will give you the information on how to connect to Class Dojo. This will be the primary means of communication between you and your child’s teacher. You will receive a weekly phone call from me with details about the upcoming week. It is very important that you do not opt-out of these phone calls. By opting out, you will also be opting out of emergency phone calls.

   Every Wednesday, teachers will send home graded work, flyers etc. in a take-home folder. The Wednesday folder serves as a communication tool with parents. We hope that the consistency of this folder being sent home every Wednesday will help you to know when graded work and notes are coming home every week. We hope this will help you keep informed about your child’s progress and any other important information from the district and school.

   You can access your child’s grades through the parent portal. If you do not already have an account, please contact Ms. Mitchell, our data manager, for information on how to set up your account.

   Margaret Willis Elementary is an award-winning PBIS school. All students follow the PBIS matrix for behavior and movement within the school. Students will receive dojo points for good behavior, participation, and completing assignments. These recognitions lead to incentives at the end of each 9-week period.

   We are looking forward to another successful school year with you! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Kasey Weaver
