Waggoner Wave June 1st!


Thank you, thank you, thank you! This was certainly not the end of the year we envisioned, and parents, we could not have done it without you. Thank you for your tireless work at home and for supporting your child while juggling family, work, and the uncertainty of these times. It's hard to believe that the end of the year is almost here. I hope that summer brings peace to your family and that you find time to relax, rest and recharge. This has not been easy, and yet I have SO MUCH hope for the future. Although school may be closed, I will still send out communications throughout the summer as new information becomes available. We are also beginning to plan for reopening in August and will share along the way. We are really excited to welcome kids and staff back to campus! 

¡Gracias, gracias, gracias! Ciertamente, este no era el final del año que imaginamos, y padres, no podríamos haberlo hecho sin ustedes. Gracias por su incansable trabajo en casa y por apoyar a su hijo mientras hace malabares con la familia, el trabajo y la incertidumbre de estos tiempos. Es difícil creer que el fin de año esté casi aquí. Espero que el verano traiga paz a su familia y que encuentre tiempo para relajarse, descansar y recargar energías. Esto no ha sido fácil y, sin embargo, tengo MUCHA esperanza para el futuro. Aunque la escuela puede estar cerrada, aún enviaré comunicaciones durante todo el verano a medida que haya nueva información disponible. También estamos comenzando a planear la reapertura en agosto y compartiremos en el camino. ¡Estamos muy emocionados de dar la bienvenida a los niños y al personal de regreso al campus!


Yearbooks are here- give a big cheer!
Yearbooks are in- arriving just in time for summer! If you preordered one, you can pick up between 12 and 2 at Waggoner Monday and Tuesday. We have yours ready! There are also a few extras available for sale, first come, first serve for $15. Please have exact change or check - we do not have change. Thank you! Thanks to Eleanor Nowak for creating such a beautiful book!

¡Los anuarios están aquí!
¡Los anuarios están llegando justo a tiempo para el verano! Si preordenó uno, puede recoger entre 12 y 2 en Waggoner lunes y martes. ¡Tenemos el tuyo listo! También hay algunos extras disponibles para la venta, por orden de llegada, por $ 15. Tenga un cambio o cheque exacto, no tenemos cambio. ¡Gracias! ¡Gracias a Eleanor Nowak por crear un libro tan hermoso!

As we head into summer, I would like to share a sincere thank you to each and every one of you. This has been an incredible year in so many ways, and I never take for granted what an honor and privilege it is to lead and learn as principal at Waggoner! It has truly been a joy to get to know you all and I look forward to continuing the important work ahead next year. Waggoner is a unique and special community and together we can do so much. Sending a virtual hug your way until we meet again soon! 

A medida que nos acercamos al verano, me gustaría compartir un sincero agradecimiento a todos y cada uno de ustedes. ¡Este ha sido un año increíble en muchos sentidos, y nunca doy por sentado el gran honor y privilegio que es liderar y aprender como director en Waggoner! Realmente ha sido un placer conocerlos a todos y espero continuar con el importante trabajo que nos espera el próximo año. Waggoner es una comunidad única y especial y juntos podemos hacer mucho. ¡Enviando un abrazo virtual hasta que nos veamos pronto!

Con amor y with love,
Jennifer Kloczko

Hip hip hooray!



There continues to be lots to celebrate at Waggoner! First, we had our district wide staff appreciation celebration last Wednesday via Zoom with just over 160 attending virtually! Each site and department recognized certificated and classified staff of the year. At Waggoner, we recognized Anna Solorio, a para educator, as our Classified Employee of the Year, and Kristen Mendez was recognized as our Certificated Employee of the year! Thank you both for your dedication and passion! Congratulations!

Waggoner Wave May 11


Happy Monday, Waggoner! We sure miss seeing your faces! We hope you enjoy this video from our staff! Have a wonderful week! 


Thank you so much to our wonderful Waggoner staff for all that you do each and every day! We appreciate you!

Dates & Details
May 13 WJUSD Day of the Teacher
May 17th-23rd Classified Staff Appreciation Week
May 13 First Grade Work/Packet pickup from 9-1 (Second grade families, if you missed last week, come on by!)
May 14 Site Council 3:00 Zoom
May 15th Fun Friday -- this week will be a camping theme!
May 26-29 Chromebook return and student work pickup - schedule TBA
Jun 3 Last day of school!

It's hard to believe that we are almost halfway through May and not only do we miss seeing you, we know there are many special end of year events that are not happening this year. We look forward with hope to next year and will find a time to celebrate as a school as soon as we can! 
As the end of the year approaches, we are also looking forward to next year and know that as we return in August that school may look different. At this time, we are planning for an August start and will share information as it becomes available. With some things looking different, some things will stay the same! Summer packets will be mailed in late July with information about the start of school, and we are looking forward to kicking off the 2020-21 school year with a fabulous team of educators as always! Later this month we will share a slide show to introduce our teachers and staff. We have a phenomenal team!

Related to back to school, some parents have inquired about teacher requests for next year. At Waggoner we work hard to create balanced classes with a mix of boys, girls, academic and social skills, parent volunteers, etc. With this in mind, we do not honor requests for specific teachers. However, if you would like to share information that would be helpful in placing your child, please reach out to me at jkloczko@wintersjusd.org. We will work to find the best possible placement for your child. Every team at Waggoner is filled with dedicated, passionate, and creative teachers and I know your child will have a great year! 

As we near the end of the year, we hope that your learning at home is going well and we want you to know we are here to support you! Learning is important, but your health and happiness matters most! Please take time to breathe, take a break, and just do what you can. This is not easy! We hope that your family is doing okay!

Finally, I wanted to share that each student will receive a third trimester report card by mail in June. The marks will be where students were performing at the time of school closure and will include a brief comment about distance learning participation. District-wide, students will not have lower grades than when school closed, although at middle school and highschool they do have the opportunity to improve.

As always, my door is open "virtually" --- please reach out with any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you soon! Please text or call me at 530-830-0028 if you need anything! 

Warmly,
Jennifer Kloczko
