Parent Information Night Success!

9-22-17

Parent Information Night Recap

On Wednesday, September 20 Wayne Trail hosted its second annual Parent Information Night at All Saints Church.  It was even more successful than last year as we had close to 60 parents and 60 students come out to enjoy the evening.  Students had a ball playing on bounce houses, painting pumpkins and playing games outside.  Thank you to Steven's Gardens (Vicki Tanner) for donating over 50 pumpkins for this event!  Parents were offered FREE reading, math and guidance tips in the three different sessions.  A big thank you to the PTP group for supplying the pizza, cookies, water and 6 gift cards to hand out as door prizes!  A feedback survey will be sent out to those that attended later next week.  If you could not attend the event, we will be posting copies of the FREE handouts on our website under the parent resources later next week.
Students should have received their first round of school pictures from Geskus photography this week.  Picture retake day will be on October 12 and we will take large group photos for our clubs also on that day.  Reminder that yearbooks do not come out until the Spring, but they are typically around $10-12 dollars.  Lastly, please mark your calendars for our Fall Fest on October 6!  We are excited to be partnering with the Wolcott House this year, where students will spend half of their day there and the other half at school learning about the Superheroes of History!

Upcoming Parent Involvement Opportunities


9-2-17

WT Families,

             This blog post will be shorter due to a majority of the necessary information you need to know is located in the September Newsletter.  I do want to reiterate the importance of this month and your involvement in your child's education and Wayne Trail Elementary activities.  On Sept. 12, the Parent-Teacher-Principal (PTP) organization will be holding their first meeting at Jed's in Maumee at 6:30pm.  This will be a great way to kick-off the year and hear about everything that is planned for this year.  On Sept. 20, we are hosting our Parent Information Night (P.I.N.), where you can not only eat a FREE dinner from the PTP, but gain valuable resources to help your child at home this school year.  I hope to see you there and enjoy the Labor Day Weekend!
