WMS Friday Forecast

On behalf of the Wredling PTO, I want to thank you for your support of our fundraiser! Our PTO does so much work on behalf of our students and our staff. From hosting events for kids to buying additional items for our our students to use (ie. fitness equipment, standing desks, and band equipment), the work that our PTO makes a difference in the life of each child at Wredling!

There are many ways for you to get involved with our PTO. You can:

• Join our virtual PTO meetings
• Volunteer as a "Red Shirt" at our many different events
• Come to WMS as a copy mom/dad
• Buy some coffee or Write-a-Check
  
  

While we did not meet our $20,000 goal, we did OK!

Write-a-Check $9,749
PapaNicholas $7,141

Total $16,890

If there is anyone who would like to write a check for $3,110 so that we can meet our goal, you would be my hero! Any anyone can still donate to Write-a-Check by going to PushCoin.

Thank you again! And enjoy this wonderful weather.

Our Honor Roll recipients will be recognized Friday, November 15th, with a treat at lunchtime from our fantastic PTO!

Please note: We may have some children who earn Honor Roll status but their name is not included on this list. This is because their parents have requested their children's names NOT be published, which includes being published as part of the Honor Roll here or in the newspapers. Changes to this request can be made either in the Home Access Center or with Student Services.

Congratulations to ALL of our RedHawks who worked hard throughout our 1st quarter of this school year. A special shout-out goes to those who were able to achieve Honor Roll status by earning either all A's or all A's and B's. All A's are on one tab, AB's are on another! See the bottom of the page to switch tabs.

Come Join our Team!

Wredling has a full-time Paraeducator position in our RISE classroom. RISE = Reaching Independence through Support and Education. This classroom supports students who are learning life-skills throughout their school day.

You can read more about this position here. We are looking for that special adult to support students in our Rise classroom as they build independence. If you are interested, or know of someone who would be a good addition to our RISE team, you can find the posting here and apply online.

Please also send an email to WMS Assistant Principal George Gouriotis at george.gouriotis@d303.org.

As we continue into the 2nd Quarter, there are times when students will be recommended to attend a literacy or math tutorial session. These sessions are opportunities to review learning checks and receive reteaching of particular literacy or math standards. These sessions are not punitive. They simply provide timely support needed for all students to meet learning targets.

Most weeks we will be handing out some RedHawk Pride Awards. This award is given by our teachers for a variety of reasons, from following our Guidelines for Success to Academic Achievement and Growth. We are proud of our RedHawks who work hard every day.

Let’s go Redhawk Writers!

Check out what is happening around our community. There are lots of opportunities to explore!

The City of St. Charles Youth Commission is reaching out to let students and student groups know that we offer financial grants to support kids working to improve the lives of kids in St. Charles! If you are working with young people on a project or you know of some young people working on something positive we'd like to hear about it. If funding is needed, maybe we can help!

The process to request a funding grant is pretty simple:

• We're interested in youth-designed, youth-driven plans, activities or projects that promote healthy lifestyles for the young people of our community. Creative interpretation of this goal is OK!
  
• Complete the application linked here. All instructions are included. It’s best if it’s in the student’s own words, but don't stress too much. It's really not about the perfection of the application, but it is definitely about the authenticity of the request. We feel the ideas of our young people have the best chance of resonating with other young people. It's also great if your group would like to come to the meeting when your request will be reviewed. The students can answer questions we may have.
• Applications received by the 15th of any month will be reviewed and considered for approval at our monthly meeting at the start of the next month. (FYI - No meetings in July or August).

Another thing...STC Youth Impact Award...Do you know of any D303 students making an especially significant positive contribution to the greater STC community this year? In the spring, we'll be recommending a person or persons for this special commendation at a City Council meeting. We're hoping some school personnel like you can help us identify potential candidates since you work with so many students every day. Let us know!

Please email any questions, applications, or recommendations to us at YC@stcharlesil.gov . A member of the Youth Commission will reach out to you once they receive it.
