Walker Wolverines PTA

From D65: Our administration and school board has an unwavering commitment to improving the district’s financial health after several years of deficit budgets. Approximately $13.2 million of reductions must be made before the start of next school year. We cannot do this work, nor would we ever want to, without the input of our staff, parents and caregivers, students, and community members.

We want to hear directly from families! These sessions are a continued effort to engage the community in learning more about the district’s budget and financial outlook and to gather input. This helps ensure that the plan currently being developed remains aligned with our collective values and provides all children in our community with a high-quality education. More details

Registration for winter athletics is open now through January 3. Beginning this school year, District 65 and the City of Evanston are excited to partner together to provide increased access to youth athletics programming! Students in grades 4-5 at all District 65 elementary and magnet schools will have the opportunity to participate in basketball, cheerleading, and ultimate frisbee this winter.

More details about practice and game schedules are available on the District 65 website and on the registration page for each sport. Fee assistance will be provided both through the City and District 65 to ensure athletic programming remains at zero cost to families who qualify for free and reduced-price meals.

For more information and registration instructions, view the City of Evanston’s Winter Program Guide.

Walker still needs coaches, too. Coaching information can be found here. The only team we have filled is the 5th grade girls/nb basketball team.
