Back to School Night

Tonight is our back to school night at 6:30 p.m. and I will not be able to meet with any of our wonderful parents just yet.

I am still on maternity leave but will return full-time with my students on Monday, September 20th.

My classroom will be open for you to browse but my substitute Mrs. Contreras will not be there to answer any questions.

So feel free to e-mail me at bwille@ewcsd.org with any questions or concerns you may have or keep checking this classroom blog for updates.
