With the winter months here, buses can be late due to inclement weather conditions. Using the My Stop Mobile App can take the guessing out of your student's bus arrival time. My Stop is a web-based application available to all Wayzata Public School parents and students that lets you access live bus GPS information. Using a smartphone or tablet, parents and students can view the current location of buses on routes and the estimated time of arrival at their neighborhood bus stops.
Please remind your children to dress for winter weather because we go out every day for fresh air and physical activity, unless at recess time the wind chill is below -15º. For children to stay in from recess, we need a note from a doctor. Typically if a child is well enough to be at school, they should be able to go outside for a short recess.
Thank you Student Council for sponsoring our Family Movie Night tomorrow, Friday, January 31.

Please bring a comfy pillow or blanket and join us for Family Movie Night at 6:00 in the gym.

First Grade: Jack M. and Mary J. Parking Lot Safety Reminders Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe at school. Here are a few parking lot safety reminders:
End-of-Day Change of Plans If you have an end-of-day change that affects Home Base or any of the smaller childcare buses that serve the school, you must let them know if your student will not be riding that bus or attending Home Base. At the end of the day, we have to hold all buses if we are looking for students who are supposed to be in those locations. Thank you for your support in helping our end of day run smoothly!

Box Tops are Going Digital! If you still have a collection of the traditional clippings, please continue to turn those into your child's teacher, the office, or the container by the gym door, but be aware that the physical Box Tops are being phased out.

Around the District January Wayzata Legislative Action Committee Update Club Y.E.S. Movie Night – Friday, January 31 at WHS Club Y.E.S. Charitable Movie Night Flyer Cold, Flu, and Lice… What Can You Do to Help? Head lice are a common problem for children in childcare settings and schools and anybody can get it. Most cases of head lice are acquired outside of school. Remember to check your child’s head after returning from a play date or sleepover – two common settings where head lice are spread. Regular observation by parents can also be an effective way to detect and quickly treat head lice. More information is available on the Minnesota Department of Health or CDC websites as well as ways to treat head lice. When to keep your child home from school We've had so many great Ask Ali questions in our inbox – thanks to all who have submitted! Ali, along with her network of local experts, has been working hard to answer these questions. Responses are posted every Monday on her blog at partnersinpreventionmn.org/askali.
