Family engagement is the process used to build genuine relationships with families. Family engagement happens in the home, early childhood program, school, and community. It is a shared responsibility of all those who want children to succeed in school and in life. A true partnership honors a family's strengths and culture, mutual respect, and shared goals for the child. Our Family Engagement Survey, will lay the groundwork for these partnerships.

Word of the day

Reminder to families: When your student is absent please call the office to excuse them or send a note with your student the next day they come to school. This helps keep our unexcused absences down and helps us get homework for the student. Communication is key to a strong relationship between families and WOWE!

gwayakwaadiziwin- Honesty

Congratulations to our November Seven Grandfather Teachings Award Winners: gwayakwaadiziwin- Honesty Facing a situation is to be brave, but having the courage to not only do the right thing, but also saying it, is honesty. We must allow truth to be our guide. We must first be honest with ourselves. This will allow us to be honest with others. We must give full value to both the efforts of our own and others. When we walk through life with integrity, it is then that we know honesty. Be truthful and trustworthy. We must also remember to accept and act on truths through straightforward and appropriate communication. Being truthful and trustworthy. Tell the truth. Be honest with yourself, recognize who and what you are. Accept and act on truths with straightforward and appropriate communication. Be honest in every action and provide good feelings in the heart. Do not be deceitful or use self-deception. Honesty keeps life simple.
