Friday's spirit assembly was full of smiles and cheers!
Help spread the word about our upcoming Open Houses for prospective students and their families! Let's highlight everything we love about The Willow School!
Parents/guardians, if you completed your background check at the beginning of last school year, it is about to expire! To volunteer at school and on field trips, the school must have a current background check on file. Background checks are good for one calendar year. Orleans Parish residents may obtain your record at the police department located at 715 S. Broad St. It is an easy process that will take 15 mins and cost $5 cash. If you live outside of Orleans Parish, please visit that parish police department. Once done, please bring the original document (copies are not accepted) to the school office to be kept on file.
Today is the final day to apply for free/reduced lunch. You must fill out the free/reduced form to qualify for the free/reduced lunch program, even if you qualified last year. If you find you are in need at a later date you can apply then. The link to make payments to a student’s online cafeteria account and apply for free or reduced meals is www.schoolcafe.com. The district is NOLA Public Schools, which is our food service vendor. Your child's schoolcafe account number is the PowerSchool ID number with "WS" after it.

Three of our 7th graders competed in a high school meet at Lutcher High School on Saturday. All three middle school students qualified for Louisiana Division 2 HIGH SCHOOL qualifying times, many times finishing ahead of much older students. Go, Willow Sea Lions!

Support our student athletes by signing up to work a shift at the concession stand or be a part of the Chain Crew. Concessions Shifts are two-hour increments and include set-up, taking orders, break down. A concessions manager will be in charge and helping out for each event. Admission to the game is covered for anyone working concessions. Chain Crews work the entirety of the game (standing and moving up and down the field to mark downs) and should be here at least 30 minutes prior. Admission to the game is covered for anyone working Chain Crew and you can get 1 free drink at half time. If you have any questions, please email boosters@willowschoolnola.org
