At the beginning of the school year, each teacher will distribute a wish list of supplies that students should have at school and at home (if any).
School supply donations are welcomed. Please ask the teacher or see the teacher’s wish list in the information that comes home in the packet of information on the first day of school.

Phone Messages
The Principal, Mrs. Brambila, sends out a recorded phone call to all Willard families each Sunday night during the school year highlighting events and important announcements for the upcoming week at Willard. Additional recorded phone calls from the school, PTA, AAPC, WAF, SSC, and district are sent to families as needed throughout the year.
Room Parents
Each classroom has a room parent who plays an important communication and coordination role between families and the teacher. If you would like to serve as a room parent, please contact the PTA.
Weekly Folders
Each week folders with flyers and announcements for the week are sent home. Be sure to ask your child for the folder so that you do not miss out on important information. It is important to check your child’s folder daily. Please be sure that it returns to school each day.
Willard Weekly
A weekly email is sent every Sunday night at 5:00pm. The email includes upcoming events and updates on school issues. This digital newspaper is also posted on Facebook.
