Red Robin Rocks!
We enjoyed seeing so many Willow Springs families at Red Robin for our first Restaurant Night of the year! Thank you so much for coming out and supporting the PTA! As one of our 1st graders commented, “This is the best party EVER”!! If you weren’t able to join us, never fear, we have more fun filled adventures up our sleeves. Mark your calendars now! Our next Restaurant Night will take place on Wednesday, October 16, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m., at Joe’s Crab Shack in Fair Lakes.
You're Invited!
Our second Parent Tech Talk will take place this week on Friday, September 20, at 8 a.m. in Ms. Li's classroom, room 133.
The topic is Google Classroom and Blackboard!
Students are invited to this session because YOU WILL NEED your child’s log in information in order to access Google Classroom.
You will learn how to navigate Google Classroom, including how assignments and classroom resources are shared, how students submit assignments, where to find missing assignments, grades, and teacher comments, and more.
