Wildwood Weekly

Open House is one of the signature events at any school. The purpose of this event is to celebrate student achievement and progress over the course of a school year. It's a time where students guide their families through their classrooms to see their best work. We hope every family will join us at Open House from 6:00-7:00pm this Thursday, May 29.

• 5:00pm - PTA Honorary Service Awards (Join us in the MPR to celebrate PTA members who have made a uniquely special impact in our students' lives this school year)
• 5:30pm - PTA General Association Meeting (Join us in the MPR for our final general association meeting of the 2024-2025 school year)
• 6:00pm - Open House Classroom Visits
• 7:00pm - Families depart

Open House Reminders:

• Students should remain with their families at all times. The playgrounds, blacktops, and field are closed during this event.
• You can visit classrooms at your leisure. If you have more than one student, you may visit classrooms in whichever order you choose.
• Make sure to stop by the MPR. If you can't make it to the PTA Honorary Service Award presentations from 5:00-5:30pm, a slideshow of the PTA Honorary Service Award recipients will be showing on the big screen from 6-7pm.
• Make sure to greet the classroom teacher as you tour your child's classroom, but this evening is not the time to discuss student progress or concerns. Open House is a celebration. If you have any questions or concerns, please schedule a meeting with your child's teacher at another time.
• After visiting your child's/children's classroom(s), you are welcome to visit other classrooms on campus, but please do not initiate conversations with teachers about next year's class placements. This is their time to celebrate with their current families.
• Stop by the Spirit Wear and "Take a Look - Take a Book" Lost and Found tables on the upper blacktop to purchase Spirit Wear items and recover any lost personal items. Cash, Zelle, and PayPal accepted.
• One last reminder: If any of your children had Mrs. Buck as a teacher, stop by Room 5 and write a short note on one of the provided 4x6 sheets of paper which will be added to her retirement memory book.
• Have a great time!

See you on Thursday!

~ Mr. Lynch

Currently, we have openings for the following positions on our 2025-26 SSC team:

Hello Wildwood Families!

What an incredible year in STEAM. The kids had so much fun and we got to explore and do so many things this year. As we wrap up STEAM, I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my parent volunteers that came week after week not knowing what they were walking in to! I appreciate you so much and could not do STEAM without your consistent and reliable help and support. To the families that donated things for classes-thank you!! I am so grateful for your support as well. As you know the STEAM program is 100% funded by the PTA, so thank you to all who donated to the Jog-A-Thon or submitted matching requests or did a direct donation in the fall. The kids love it, and we couldn't do it without you!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Casey
