All School Announcements

Message from Dr. Breuder:

We were so excited to have Kindergarten students join us this week! We had our first all-school assembly, where students learned about the Wolf Pact. Our Wolf Pact states that we are Caring, Curious, Connected, and Supported. Each class spent time this week making posters about how we are Caring in our community. These posters were shared at the assembly. We will be working towards supporting the Wolf Pact all year long. It was a great week with our entire school community!

Thank you to the PTSA for organizing the Welcome Picnic on Friday! I couldn’t attend the picnic, but I heard such wonderful comments about how great it was for families to connect with each other. 😊

Staffing updates: Please help me welcome the following staff to the Hazel Wolf community!

Jessica Murillo—Elementary SPED Paraeducator
Chloe Torres—Guest teacher for Kit Jordan (middle school). Ms. Chloe will be subbing for Teacher Jordan through the end of September.

Attendance Update:

Hello Hazel Wolf Families!

Please visit our website here for up-to-date attendance information.

We have a new online pre planned absence form this year. You can access the link here. This is ONLY for 3 or more pre planned missed days.

Once I have entered the absence into your student’s attendance I will email you with confirmation.

Remember to always email attendance along with your teacher (K-5) if your child is out for the school day, has an appointment or anything attendance related.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Ms. Traci

Start of school documents: Your child brought home a packet of documents for you to fill out last week. Please return these documents at your earliest convenience.

Curriculum Night:

We are having an all-school K-8 Curriculum Night on Wednesday, October 8^th. Each grade-level (K-5) will have a presentation for families, and there will be one middle school presentation.

Volunteering at Hazel Wolf:

The volunteer clearance process has changed slightly.

Teachers will send out a request for volunteers (e.g. field trips, classroom volunteering, etc.).
Once those names are collected, the teacher will send prospective volunteers a link to the volunteer application. This application takes 4-5 weeks to process. The teacher will submit all volunteer names to the Volunteer Coordinator (Ms. Jackson) and the SPS Volunteer department.
All approved volunteers will be on the “approved” list with the SPS Volunteer department and Ms. Jackson. In order to volunteer, your name must be on that list.
If your volunteer clearance is still valid, you do not need to renew right now. If you are planning to renew, you can do so within 30 days of you’re the expiration of your clearance.
Please note the Volunteer Orientation is a required part of the volunteer clearance process.

Here are the upcoming dates and Teams link:

September 15	5:00pm
September 30	5:00pm

PTSA Announcements and Events

Goodwill Donation Drive: This event was a huge success! Thank you to all the families and community members who brought their used items to donate and helped us fill the truck! Let us know if you would be interested in having this event in the spring as well.

Ongoing Ridwell Plastic Film Pick-ups: Thank you all. We earned free Ridwell plastic films pick-ups this academic year through the school drive this spring. Drop off your clean and dry plastic films in the Ridwell bin by the school entrance anytime. Learn what can be accepted: https://www.ridwell.com/pickup-categories/iPLGbgvM

Lost & Found Information: The Lost & Found is located by the front office. Parents may access it anytime during office hours. Students are encouraged to check it before or after school. If there is a legible phone number on an item, a notification text will be sent by a volunteer. Items left in the Lost & Found for more than 4 weeks will be donated to Kidvantage.

Seattle Reign vs Utah Royals: Join Hazel Wolf families for a fun night of soccer as we cheer on the FC Reign at their last home game, Friday October 17th. For each ticket purchased, $3 will go directly to the Hazel Wolf PTSA! Discounted tickets can be purchased at https://tinyurl.com/HW-Reign-25

Join the PTSA as a voting member! Everyone – parents, caregivers, extended family, community members – is encouraged to join the PTSA. Membership does NOT commit you to attending meetings or volunteering. Our goal is to have at least one family member join the PTSA for each student, so we can continue to align our budget and initiatives to our community’s needs. https://wspta-02477505.givebacks.com/shop
