In this episode, we welcome Westlawn families back for the new year as we review The Feather Report (Volume 2, Issue 19). The administration celebrates a high-energy return from Winter Break while shifting focus to crucial upcoming logistics: the approach of SOL testing season (including the need for parents to grant retake permission via ParentVUE), the opening of the Dual Language Immersion lottery on January 12, and the Luther Jackson Middle School Curriculum Night for rising 7th graders on January 21. We also discuss the popular STEAM Academy's return, noting a new equity-based lottery system for spring club registration. Finally, we offer reminders on cold weather recess protocols, "Tech Talk" advice on removing devices from bedrooms, and a fun introduction to Instructional Coach Kara McElveen.
