📅 When: Monday, December 16th
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM
📍 Where: Waltham Elementary School
Our school is currently facing significant space limitations, requiring immediate, temporary solutions like classroom trailers to accommodate our students. While these measures address urgent needs, they are not in the best interest of our financial future or long-term planning.
We need your input to develop effective, sustainable plans for our growing school community. Join us to learn more about the current challenges, share your ideas, and collaborate on shaping the future of our school. Community members and current parents are encouraged to attend!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Join us for our community open house tonight at 6:30.
Come cheer on our 7th Grade girls basketball team tonight at 6pm for the regional championship at Waltham!

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉
We just had our first AttenDANCE of the school year, and it was a huge success! 🥳 We celebrated the attendance milestones of our students and had some fun surprises along the way.
✅ We had 175 students who were acknowledged for missing one or zero days of school in September, and a big shout-out to the 142 students who had perfect attendance for the entire month! 👏
These students were entered into a drawing for some amazing prizes, thanks to the generosity of our fantastic sponsors! 🎁✨ A special thanks to our local businesses Starved Rock Storage, Culvers, Bernabei, Balestri & Fiocchi Law Firm, Barb Bryant of Janko Realty, and Financial Plus Credit Union for supporting our mission to make EVERY DAY COUNT!
Thank you all for supporting our students! Let’s keep it up for the rest of the school year! The next AttenDANCE is scheduled for Friday, November 1st!
