Good evening West Salisbury families, this is your child’s principal Mr. Binns. I hope you are enjoying your championship Sunday and that your football team is winning. We have just a few announcements for you today. Monday, January 29th there will be no school for students. Parents enjoy the extra day off and we look forward to seeing our tiger cubs on Tuesday. This Tuesday, January 30 is the start of the second semester and our third marking period. This parents, means that we will be in the last half of the school year so we continue to encourage all parents to please make an extra effort to ensure that your child is to school on time and that they are there every day. Attendance is important, and if your child misses more than 5 days of unexcused absences in a marking period your child will receive an Attendance Intervention Plan, so to avoid this, please make sure that your child is here on time. All grades will go live on Friday, February 2, 2024 and you will be able to see your child’s grades. This past Friday we had our PBIS incentive for students that have not received an office or X2 referrals, it was a blast to see our students rewarded for positive behavior. We want to continue to encourage our students as we finish up iReady, MAP and MCAP testing. Our students have been tigerific, keep up the great work tigers. Parents, we would like to remind our parents that for the safety of all of our students we have a specific dismissal system. If you are picking up your child from the car line or for early dismissal parents are not permitted to leave the office area. We would like to remind our parents that you must, I repeat you must remain in the office area until your child is brought to the office by one of our staff members. We have 400 students to dismiss and to ensure their safety no one other than staff should be in our hallways during dismissal. Parents are not allowed to signal to their child to come or leave the front office or even open the door to call out to their child. Please allow our staff to fulfill their dismissal duties and help to keep all of our students safe. We would like to thank you in advance for complying with this request. Finally, we want to thank our parents for making the adjustment of parking when you are walking your child into the building for arrival and pickup. It has made a tremendous difference when you park in the parking bay and cars are not being blocked off by parents stopping in the middle of the parking lot. Thank you so much for complying to this request for the safety of our students, staff, and parents. Well, well that is it for now. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, enjoy the food, family and friends and we hope your team wins to make it to the Super Bowl. We are the tiger nation, tigers let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!

The temperatures have been cold and the roads icy, so we hope you are all doing well. I have just a few announcements for this week.

We want to thank our parents for complying with our request of parking in the parking lot when bringing your child to school and not stopping in the middle of the driveway when picking your child up.

Good afternoon Tiger family, this is your child’s principal Mr. Binns. I know you are enjoying this awesome extended weekend in which we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. Well, I just wanted to take a couple minutes to give you some announcements for this upcoming week. First, please remember that all schools and offices are closed on Monday, January 15th, 2024 in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday so sleep in and enjoy your extra day off and thank you to Dr. King for what he endured and fought for in order for everyone to have the freedoms we have today. This Tuesday January 16th there will be a board meeting at Long Avenue beginning at 7:00 p.m. the public is invited to attend to hear the latest topics and concerns within the Wicomico County school System. Parents that drop off and pick up their child we are having problems with parents parking their cars in the driveway of the parking lot which is holding up traffic or blocking parents that have parked in the parking bay. Parents are not permitted to stop their car in the driveway of the parking lot to walk their child to the building while the car is in the driveway portion. All parents are to park in a parking bay if they would like to walk their child to the door for drop off and for pick up. This is for the safety of our students and you the parents. Parents we are going to continue to promote good attendance and being on time. Please make every effort to have your child to school daily and on time. The iready and MAP testing window will begin with our STC Ms. Monroe looking to have a successful testing window. We know our students will do their best on their assessments. On Friday we will have Fun Friday and it will be “Opposite Day” which means the students will dress up like teachers and administrators and the teachers will dress up like students. This will be so fun to see our students dress up like their favorite teachers. This past Thursday, West Salisbury Elementary was recognized and received an award for participating in the Cup Stacking Competition. Well because of this a WORLD RECORD was made and West Salisbury was one of three schools in Wicomico that participated. We want to thank Dr. Eagle for having the vision to have our school participate in such a fun and cool event. Finally, West Salisbury is proud to inform the Tiger Nation that our Teacher of the Year is Dr. Harlan Eagle. We want to say congratulations to Dr. Eagle and we know he will do a great job representing the tiger nation. All the best Dr. Eagle. That’s it for now remember we are the tiger nation and this means more. Tigers let me hear you roar. ROAR!!!
