Wynbrooke Elementary

Dekalb County Schools

Weekly Update - August 14

We’d like to thank you for an awesome first week of school! Students and teachers have spent their time establishing rituals and routines and getting acquainted to create a positive and productive learning environment.

Thanks to all the parents who attended the Back to School Team Talk last Tuesday and Thursday. We appreciate your enthusiasm and your commitment to making Wynbrooke a great place for our students!

I want to thank our faculty and staff as well as the many parents who have volunteered to assist with traffic in the mornings and afternoons. Because of your assistance, we see progress! We have operating procedures in place to maintain order and to keep our stakeholders safe. The processes will work if everyone conforms and follows them accordingly. Please be patient and cooperative. Remember, children are watching!

Take time to review the Uniform Policy that is in the Student/Parent Handbook located in the student agenda planner.(or on our website) Attend closely to your child’s shoes (must be solid black or solid brown) and belts which must be worn by students in 1st-5th grades. Remember, navy blue and white uniforms should be worn on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This week we will begin fall testing using MAP, a new online assessment provided by DCSD. This assessment will take place in August, January and May and the results will be used to monitor students’ progress over time so that teachers can respond with appropriate strategies and safety nets. The results of this initial assessment will also be used to identify students for special programs so please encourage your student to take the assessment seriously and do his/her best.
