We hope this week's Wildwood Weekly finds you well! We wanted to remind you of the best ways to communicate with our school staff. To ensure timely and effective communication, we kindly ask that if you need to reach out to Ms. Babyak, you do so through phone call or email. Please do not use ClassDojo! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

We are excited to announce that our school will be celebrating International Dot Day on Monday, September 16th! Inspired by the beloved book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, this day encourages creativity, courage, and collaboration!

To make this day extra special, we invite all students to dress in polka dots—whether it's a shirt, socks, or even a fun accessory! We look forward to seeing how each student will express their creativity on this fun and meaningful day!

Thank you for your support!

For the time being, the kitchen won't be offering extra slices of pizza on pizza days. We appreciate your understanding and will let you know as soon as they're available for purchase again. Thank you for your cooperation!

Students that need to receive medication at school need to have the proper paperwork filled out. Even if your student received medication last year, a new form needs to be turned in before medication can be dropped off. Please make arrangements to drop off medication and the supporting documentation to the main office. Medication should not be sent to school along with the student for safety concerns.

We need all of our amazing Wildwood families to fill out the Food Service Electronic Benfits Form! A paper copy is available and linked below, or an electronic copy can be found at: https://waynewestland.familyportal.cloud/

The Wayne-Westland Food Service Department is proud to offer students a variety of delicious yet healthy breakfast and lunch choices. The lunch program uses an efficient point-of-sale swipe card system, significantly reducing wait times and allowing students more time to enjoy their meals.

We offer an extensive selection of additional products for students to purchase during lunch, including beverages, bagged snacks, and desserts. While the selection varies by school and grade level, students can conveniently buy snacks using cash or their student lunch accounts.

Funding the student lunch account is simple through the Meal Magic Family Portal, with detailed instructions provided below. Please note that we currently do not accept credit or debit cards. For any questions or issues regarding purchases or lunch accounts, please email foodservice@wwcsd.net or call the Food Service Department at (734) 419-2118.
