September 30 Update


Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope everyone has the chance to enjoy this beautiful fall weekend.  We have a busy week coming up, so I would like to use this opportunity to remind you about two events that are scheduled for the next few days.  The first is the Principal’s Coffee to be held on Wednesday morning from 9:00-10:00 am in the McCall Library.  The purpose of this event is to give us an opportunity to dialog about things that are going well and areas of McCall that need improvement.  There are countless topics we can be discussing, so I would like to focus this month’s conversation on the Morning Arrival Process and Supervision.  The very generous McCall Parents Association (MPA) will be sponsoring this event and providing us with the coffee.  I invite everyone who is available on Wednesday morning to come and join us.

The second event is the McCall Open House which is scheduled for this Thursday evening from 7:00-8:30 pm.  As you all know, finding parking around McCall can be challenging.  Since we plan to begin the evening promptly at 7:00 pm, I recommend everyone to plan your commute accordingly.  Attached here is the information you will need to prepare for the evening.

Lastly, I would like to share with you a message from our Central Office regarding bussing:

Based upon ridership needs, an additional bus route will be added to WHS/McCall on Monday, October 1st.  This new route is comprised of bus stops from buses 6, 7 & 8.  Updated bus routes, including the new bus 9, is posted to the district's website.  You can locate the website by clicking here.

Please note that there is no additional bus for the elementary routes.  

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ellen Whittemore at ewhittemore@winchesterps.org


Thank you and I wish everyone a wonderful week!
