September 2024
Welcome to the September edition of the Waldron Elementary School Tribe newsletter! We've had a fantastic start to the 2024-25 school year, with our students settling in and adapting to new routines and procedures. Our staff has enjoyed getting to know the students and families. Hopefully you've had a chance to connect and communicate with our wonderful teachers and staff. Rooms is our new communication tool that teachers have been using to share news with families. If you haven't signed up yet, please contact us so that we can help you get connected. It doesn't seem possible, but Parent/Teacher Conferences will be here before you know it. Be sure to contact your child's teacher and set up a time to meet on Oct. 2nd or 3rd. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out by email at bgarrison@ses.k12.in.us or by phone at 765-544-3331. As we head into a well-deserved three-day weekend, we hope you enjoy this time to relax and recharge. Here's a look at some important information and dates for the month ahead!
