WGES Weekly Update for Feb 8 - 12

Good Afternoon Grizzlies! Here are announcements and calendar items for the week of 02/08/10:

Don't forget that there is no school next week, February 15 - 19, 2010. School resumes on our regular schedule on Monday, February 22, 2010.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported our second annual PTA Run 4 Fun! We are very grateful for the genersity of our Willow Grove community. More than $12,000 was raised to support our winter and spring programs that will enrich our Grizzly students' experiences at school daily!

Our next free family night is Grizzly Cultures Night on February 26th! Thank you to those of you who are hosting a station to help us all better understand the traditions and cultures of those families that make up our wonderfully diverse school community! Please join us and travel with your passport around the world in our very own multi-purpose room. Our PTA Association meeting will begin the evening at 6:00 PM, and the stations will open at 6:30 PM. Come learn and vote on our Nominating Committee who will be recommending the slate of our executive team for the 2010-2011 school year. Hope to see you all there!

Remember to turn in your order form for the yearbook in the yearbook box in the front office. This is your chance to take advantage of early bird pricing. Yearbooks can be ordered now for $19 through the end of this week. Starting February 22nd, the cost of a yearbook will be $24. Take advantage of the lower cost and look forward to treasuring the memories of this school year!

March is the time that Poway Unified (PUSD) begins to accept and process Student Transfer Requests. For Interdistrict Transfers (students who live outside the PUSD boundary) a new transfer request must be submitted EACH year for consideration. The transfer form is available at the PUSD office in Sabre Springs or from your resident school district office. Your current district must first sign the form to release your place, and then bring the form to the PUSD office for consideration. Intradistrict Transfers (students living in PUSD but requesting a school other than their school of residence) only have to submit a form if they are entering middle or high school. Intradistrict transfers are good for the time that the student is in the same school or school level. If you have any questions, contact Paul Gentle at 858-668-4162.

Have a grrrrrrreat Grizzly week!
