Hello WIS Families,

As a reminder, this Thursday and Friday (October 8th and 9th) are our Family Conferences. Teachers will reach out to you to set up a conference. If you have a concern with one of your child's grades, reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a conference via Parent Square or call our office.

Tomorrow (10/8) and Friday (10/9), we will be on a Minimum Day Schedule to accommodate Family Conferences. Students will start school at 8:00am and will be released for the day at 12:20pm. Please plan accordingly. Lunches are available for student pick up on their way out of school.

Here is the schedule for both Thursday and Friday:

❤️ T-Bird Families: One Student at a Time 🐦

As we head into another busy week, we want to remind our families of something simple but powerful: big impact happens one student at a time.

Our students don't need us to do everything perfectly. They need caring adults who notice them, encourage them, believe in them, give them second chances, and continue to show up for them. A positive conversation, a word of encouragement, or simply taking the time to listen can make a bigger difference than we may ever realize.

As parents, families, and educators, we are all part of that team. Together, we can make a difference one student at a time.

📚 Family Conferences — Thursday & Friday, October 8–9
We look forward to connecting with our WIS families during Family Conferences this Thursday and Friday!

📌 Both days are Minimum Days.
⏰ Students will be dismissed at 12:20 p.m.

Teachers will be reaching out this week to schedule conference times with families. If there is a specific teacher you would like to meet with, please send the teacher a message through ParentSquare or call the WIS office so the teacher can arrange a meeting or phone call with you.

These conferences are an important opportunity to learn about your student's progress, celebrate their successes, discuss areas for growth, and work together on ways we can continue supporting them.

⏰ Please Help Us With On-Time Attendance

We also want to emphasize the importance of students arriving on time every day.

Students should arrive early enough to get to their first-period classroom before 8:00 a.m. Being late can create anxiety for students as they enter class after instruction has already begun, and it can also disrupt the learning of others.
Please remember that WIS students may have no more than 15 tardies during their middle school years to participate in the WIS 8th Grade Promotion event. Every minute of instructional time matters, and establishing good attendance habits now helps set students up for success.

Thank you for helping your student get enough rest, prepare for the school day, and arrive at school on time each morning. Your support makes a difference!

🐦 A Few Other Reminders
Tuesday, October 6: Lockdown Drill at 8:30 a.m.
Wednesday, October 7: WIS has a 9:00 a.m. school start time.

Thursday, October 8: Cross Country at Reedley College

Thank you, T-Bird Families, for partnering with us and supporting your students. Whether it's helping with homework, attending a game, encouraging good attendance, or simply asking your child how their day went, the small things matter.

Big impact happens one student at a time. ❤️🐦

Have a wonderful week, T-Bird Families!

It’s been a busy few days for the Washington T-Bird Band!

Our percussion team did a great job at Thursday’s Youth Night in the Park, and this morning, our band brought that same energy to the Raisin Day Parade. We’re so proud of our students and the hard work they put into both performances!

Here are some pictures from both events. Go T-Birds!

Last night our WIS Band joined the DIS Band, Monson Sultana Drumline, and DHS Band for the biggest Green Mile yet! Together, they walked the stadium to open the DHS football game and later put on the halftime show. 🏈🥁🎶

We are so proud of our WIS Thunderbirds for representing our school and being part of this special Dinuba tradition!
