MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, MRS. DIEMIDIO
To the parents of Wilbur Elementary Kindergarten students for the 2024-2025 school year:
We are excited to welcome your little one to the best school in the universe in August! I just wanted to send a quick note to all families that are fully registered in our system and are ready to begin at the start of the school year so that you can rest assured that you've done everything you needed to and have no worries for the rest of the summer.
Closer to the start of August, I will send another email giving you a ton of information, even including videos for car rider arrival and dismissal, our complete parent handbook, and everything else you need to know. For now, relax and enjoy the summer!
In order to get our youngest students off to a wonderful start, we are encouraging all parents to bring their child to our Kinderduction. All eight of our Kindergarten teachers will be a part of this Wilbur tradition. Since I will have class lists finalized at that point, each teacher will be able to work with their own students on routines and procedures and acclimate them to the building. This will give both you and your child the chance to start building a relationship with the teacher that they will spend their year with. (And, will allow your kiddo a shorter time away from you for the first school experience.) Kinderduction will take place MONDAY, AUGUST 19 from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. I will send out more information in my next email, but wanted you to have this date on your calendar.
SPLIT START FOR KN STUDENTS
Very Important!
The district schedules a split start for Kindergarten students in order to provide smaller class sizes to allow teachers to get to know their students and teach routines and procedures in smaller groups. Please note the two days that week that your child will attend school that first week based on the chart below.
