Primary School News and Notes

Our students have been working hard learning the material for our musical on April 17th, and they are so excited for the performance. Here are additional details about their costumes and the evening of the performance. 

All children must arrive back at school by 5:30 p.m. Please drop your child off in the following locations in the main building before finding your seats. *Please have your child use the restroom before you drop them off.* After the performance, all students will walk back to their assigned classroom. Please pick up your child at the same drop-off location. 

This is a list of the songs included in our performance. Please note that not every class sings every song. 

We are looking forward to seeing you at the showcase!

 

The Upper and Middle School Diversity Alliance is excited to bring back Walker's Multicultural Day including the Parade of Nations and Taste of Nations. This event will take place on Friday, April 12, and all Walker community members are invited to join. Please fill out the SURVEY HERE to participate. If you have questions, please reach out to Shea Fleming, Director of Diversity and Belonging.

 

In addition to completing the survey above, please complete our Primary School Multicultural Day survey to help us plan this day for the Primary School community. Thank you!

Kindergarten parents are invited to the Lower School on April 26th. First, you are invited to attend a 1st Grade assembly, “Are you Smarter than a 1st Grader.” This will begin at 8:05 a.m. in Gatti Hall, in the Lower School. This will be followed by a Coffee Morning with Lower School leadership and the 1st Grade team. 

On April 8th, there will be a solar eclipse around dismissal time. Please note, Primary School students will dismiss at our REGULAR TIME. Primary school students will be kept inside during main eclipse hours. We will not be viewing the eclipse as a Primary School community. We know this is an exciting time, and if you would like to pick your child up early or you are planning to miss school to view the eclipse with your family, it will be an excused absence. Here is one possible source, if you want to purchase special eclipse glasses to view the eclipse with your family.

Registration is now open! Join us for a summer filled with friends and fun! More information and the link to register can be found on the Summer Camp webpage. Use code EB2024 before April 1 for an Early Bird Discount.
