It’s August, the idea of getting back to a school routine is starting to get real, and your child might be asking—“who’s my teacher?”🤔
Good news! The wait is ALMOST over.🙌🏼
Humphrey and Winsted’s teacher/classroom assignment letters will be dropped in the mail early next week. Please watch your mailboxes (both electronic and traditional USPS). 📬

HLWW elementary students and families, we will see you soon for Welcome Days on Sept 1-2. Our first day of school is Sept 3! 🍎📚
