FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:
In the coming weeks, teachers will be holding parentteacher conferences. This is the best time to see how your child
or children is doing in school. At Wilbur Charter, we believe in a
strong school-parent partnership, and along with the usual
questions about academics, think about asking what you can do

Parking Reminders from Principal Plat
Parking continues to be a problem every day at Wilbur. Please follow these rules and reminders
to ensure a safe beginning and end of day for every student and staff member at Wilbur Charter,
as well as our families and community members!
Each and every parent, grandparent, guardian, babysitter, and anyone else who is dropping off
students must follow these traffic safety rules.
1. Do not stop your car in the middle of the street to drop off or pick up your children. If you see red
cones, this means do not stop or park here EVER. Even when no one is around!
2. Follow the established flow of traffic-the passenger side should always be next to the curb.
3. If you have parked across the street, do not JAYWALK! Walk to the nearest crosswalk and cross
at the intersection.
4. Do not stand across the street and wave to your child to run across the street to meet you.
5. Do not honk for your children-ever!
6. Do not make a U-turn in the middle of the street.
7. Do not double park or park in the bus zone.
8. Do not block our neighbor’s driveways!
9. Never ever park in the faculty parking lot-at any time!
10. Remain calm and courteous at all times during drop off and pick up.
Remember, every child’s safety should be your main
concern, and that your children watch what you say and how
you choose to follow the rules.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Wilbur Families,
Fall is finally here! We hope that you and your children are enjoying your first semester of the 20142015 school year.
I would like to thank parents and families who purchased Innisbrook products this year. This fundraiser was enormously
successful for the school and Friends of Wilbur. Thank you to Sarah Trigger for organizing the Innisbrook fundraiser this year
and for standing in front of school each morning to make it easy to place your order!
As of this writing, Friends of Wilbur is setting up for our Fall Book Fair. Thank you to all of the Wilbur Parents who volunteered
to work the Book Fair last month.
rd
Also, Wendy Govenar and her team of volunteers are planning our 3 Annual Wilbur on the move: Walk-A-Thon on November
th
th
4 and 5 . The goal of the Walk-A-Thon is to help promote healthy living and fitness, while making it fun for our kids! All
funds raised at “Wilbur on the Move” will benefit our P.E. program at Wilbur.
Our next Eaterie FUNdraiser will be at Sharky’s Tarzana on November 12th. Don’t miss out on these fun events which also
raise money for our school. This is a great opportunity for our families to get together as a community outside of school and
show your support.
Also in November, please mark your calendars for Thursday, November 20th at 8:15 am; Friends of Wilbur will hold a General
Parent Meeting in the Kurosh/Dariush Hassanlou Auditorium. All Wilbur parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.
