A message from Mrs. Graf: As we approach warmer months and a time that some families take vacation, please keep in mind that it is imperative that your child is present in school regularly. It is also important to remember to have all students attend school from "bell to bell." Bell to bell is the time that covers the entire school day. School attendance is critical to the success of a student. Parents should continue to avoid picking up their child up early or dropping their child off after the tardy bell. Emergency situations or circumstances that occur on rare occasions are understandable. In order for us to ensure that we successfully educate all students, let’s work together to ensure that that we honor our instructional time in order to maximize student learning. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated. ![]()

Volunteers Needed (a note from PTA)
Trailblazer Parents,
We are reaching out to our registered volunteers to sign up and come teach Character Education classes to Pre-K, First, and 2nd Grade classes starting NOW! Not registered to volunteer? Go to any WCPSS school and ask to complete the online volunteer registration.
Please view the sign up schedule to see the available times and classrooms open for a volunteer from now until the end of the school year. Please view our Guidance Counselor, Ms. Esther Wu’s Blog for more detailed directions and available lesson plans to use during your visit.
http://bresschoolcounseling.weebly.com/character-ed.html .
Updated lesson guides, a book/activity list, and books for each month's volunteers are in the orange basket right next to the door when you walk into the guidance office. There are also extra copies of the lesson plan for volunteers to take home and look over for those wishing to prepare in advance. The lesson plan, booklist, and optional (time pending) activity list will also be posted on the Weebly site and linked onto the Sign-up Genius, and are also available for viewing at the beginning of each month. Thank you all for taking the time to provide a lesson on character and exposing students to additional role models in the community. The students love having visitors!
Please sign up for times that you are available to volunteer. For each Character Lesson we need 2 volunteers, the first will be the primary volunteer for that date/time. The second would be the backup in case the first becomes unavailable. Thank you for your time.
Note: New volunteers are required to register and agree to a criminal background check prior to engaging in volunteer work. You may register at the school's front office.
