Public Outreach for Solar Implementation at Willett Elementary
Design planning is now under way for solar implementation at Willett Elementary School. The installation of photovoltaic solar panels is a key step in our effort to expand renewable energy sources in DJUSD and at your neighborhood school site.
Please join the DJUSD Bond Team on Monday, November 13, for two meeting opportunities to hear about these changes and share any input or thoughts you may have about this solar project. Families, staff, neighbors and friends are all invited.

Is Your Student Missing School Due to Anxiety?
Sometimes, not wanting to attend school on a regular basis can be a sign that something else is going on with your student. If your student reports symptoms such as headaches or stomach aches, this may be a sign of anxiety, rather than physical illness. If the issue is anxiety, staying home from school can make things worse. Learn more about how you can help your student’s anxiety and attendance by visiting the District’s attendance website.

Halloween Costume Guidelines
I am sure that many of you have been wondering about dressing up for Halloween this year. If your child wishes to wear a costume to school on Halloween, please pay special attention to:
- Costume must not interfere with learning or movement.
- No fake or plastic weapons of any kind.
- No inappropriate costumes that would violate dress code (curse words, drug/alcohol references, etc.)
- Accessories need to stay at home.
- Costume related masks are not to be worn.
- The school is not responsible for lost costumes or costume related items.
If you have specific questions, please let me know.
