Whitin Weekly September 12th
Dear Whitin Families,
The following is the update for the week of September 12, 2021.
What a great start to the school year we had here at Whitin this past week. Students were definitely ready to come back to school, see their friends, eat lunch in the cafe and meet their teachers. Students did a tremendous job transitioning into the new routines.
Thank you to parents and guardians for your attention to our arrival and dismissal routines. Arrival and dismissal has gone very smoothly over this past week with everyone adhering to the traffic patterns and procedures for drop off and pick up. I appreciate your continued effort to ensure our Whitin Warriors safely arrive and dismissal from school.
Whitin PTO MOVIE NIGHT is coming up this Friday:

Save the Date
Meet the Teacher: Meet the teacher night is scheduled for Thursday, September 23rd from 6:30PM-8:00PM
Theme Days: This year we will be hosting theme days on most Fridays. A list of theme days will be included in the Whitin weekly soon. Our next theme day will be next Friday, September 24, 2021: School Spirit Black and Orange! I hope students will show their school pride and wear their best black and orange spirit wear.
Food Service: Lunch and breakfast are free for all students this year. If students plan on taking a second lunch, that lunch will have a cost. All students will pass through the lunch line and have to input their code at the register if they are taking a meal or purchasing a second lunch. Students who would like a milk only will have the option of a “grab three and it’s free” bag which includes milk and healthy choice snacks. If a child does not take the bag and only chooses the milk there will be a charge for the milk.
Breakfast is served each morning in the cafeteria. Students in 6th and 7th grade may grab a breakfast from the cafeteria and eat it in the gym or during homeroom. Students in 4th and 5th grade may eat breakfast in the cafeteria or in their homeroom.
From Nurse Gauthier:
Please fill out this Medical Information Form for each student you have at Whitin. This will assist us in updating your student's school medical record and provide permission to administer medication during the school day if needed.
