The Lions Club will be at Waverly Elementary conducting vision screenings Thursday, October 27th.

Students will sit for eye measurements that are taken with a device similar to a camera.

Results will be shared with families at a later date.  Be on the lookout for a notice that will go home with your child.

If your child needs glasses, The Lions Club can help families in need obtain eyeglasses.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be happening on Thursday, November 3 after school and all day on Friday, November 4.

In order to get a preferred time-slot, please stop by the lobby area of Waverly and on the sign-up sheet write in the time you would like to meet with your child’s teacher.

Sign-up sheets will be in the lobby area through Wednesday.

***********UPDATE***********

Your child will be bringing home a paper confirming conference date and time.  Please indicate on the form if you can make the date and time or if you need to reschedule. Return that portion of the form to your child’s classroom teacher.  If you do need to reschedule, please contact the school office immediately to get your child’s conference scheduled.

If your conference requires a translator, your child will not have a form to bring home as someone from Waverly would have called home to confirm a date and time.

The School Board continues to review facility needs for a possible bond proposal for next spring. The District will host a series of community meetings in October to gather input about community priorities, which will help the Board develop a final bond proposal for next May

  Safety and security projects
• Maintenance projects to protect the community’s investments in school buildings
