Dear Sprague,

Hello.  The Martin Luther King holiday weekend is timely for many reasons.  Even though we just returned from a winter break, welcoming a three-day weekend is always a gift.  More importantly, it is a time to reflect on the vision of Martin Luther King as we are fresh into the start of a new year.  Please enjoy your weekend and always be safe.   

No School Monday

  • Martin Luther King holiday weekend
  • I look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday

 

Travel Reminders, Please

  • All at WPS are thrilled that our school operation remains open 

  • While there have been past identified cases at Sprague, it is comforting to know that they have been isolated, everyone is doing well, and the protocols and procedures we have in place are proving successful

  • We also appreciate all you are doing to keep us safe and school open, which we know has required you to curtail travel and minimize social gatherings and/or limit your interactions to certain families

  • As we enter into the new year, I ask that we keep up the great work together as a collaborative team – thank you!

  • Please continue to reach out to our nurse, Chris Babicz, or me with questions

  • Remember to stay safe and healthy!

 

Wednesday, January 20th 

  • Wednesday, January 20th is a full, in-person school day
