Wildwood Weekly

Another successful week down in jogathon fundraising!! We are getting very close to our school-wide goal of $65,000 with our current total of $52,000! Impressive work, Tigers!

We still need donations from the following states in order for our students to earn their ALL SCHOOL BBQ:

• Alaska
• Delaware
• Iowa
• Louisiana
• Maine
• North Dakota
• Oklahoma
• Rhode Island
• South Dakota
• West Virginia
• Wyoming

Do you know anyone in those states who can help us out!?

So many students are working hard and getting creative in their donation collecting!! Check out the picture below of Ms. Henige stopping by a lemonade stand run by two of our philanthropic 4th graders.

We are still in need of parent volunteers to track student laps during the jogathon. Don't let this intimidate you - it is a FUN and EASY job, and we provide you with all the details and instructions! Sign up here!

Yard Signs: Blank signs are available in the office for a suggested donation of $10. Pick one up, bring it home, and return it by 4/16 for us to line the track with festive messages of encouragement for our students. See the flyer below for examples!

Go Tigers!

Don't forget about your student's artwork that can be created into custom keepsakes. These make great Mother's Day gifts! Online orders are due on Tuesday, 4/8. A portion of the proceeds goes back to Wildwood! You can click this link and access your child's artwork using the Access Code that was sent home. If you have any questions, reach out to Tracy Yoder (tracyoder@gmail.com)

Do you have a neighbor or friend within our Wildwood boundary who has an incoming TK or Kinder student? Please remind them to register NOW to secure their spot and aide us in our projected staffing. We appreciate your help in getting the word out.

Get ready for our next Wildwood Spirit Day on May 2—Anything But a Backpack Day! Students are encouraged to bring their school supplies in something fun and creative instead of a traditional backpack. Think outside the box—use a laundry basket, a shopping bag, a suitcase, or even a toy wagon! Just make sure it’s safe and easy to carry. We can’t wait to see your imaginative ideas!

California’s 2024-25 STIS policy allows families to request 1–15 days of independent study per school year for absences due to illness, family emergencies, or other short-term needs. Students will receive assignments to stay engaged with the curriculum while away.

To request STIS, contact the Wildwood office or visit our attendance page for more details. We’re committed to supporting student success through flexible learning options.

Please click the "Digital Backpack" image to check if any new community fliers have been posted recently. Not all fliers will appear as images in our Wildwood Weekly newsletter, and we don't want you to miss out on community events, classes, or opportunities that are of interest to you. Fliers are organized under three tabs:

• School-Connected Organizations and Governmental Agencies
• Non-Profit Groups
• All Other Groups

From time to time, individuals or groups in the community will distribute information and advertisements to parents/guardians on the public sidewalks during school arrival or dismissal. This information is not affiliated or endorsed by Wildwood Elementary and CVUSD. Any approved communications (i.e. announcements, fliers) from Wildwood Elementary and CVUSD will be provided directly from the school to you via email, or given to your students to take home. If you ever are unsure whether or not materials are from Wildwood Elementary and CVUSD, please do not hesitate to contact the front office.
