Wildwood Weekly

The City of Thousand Oaks will be monitoring our Arboles/Velarde crosswalk usage in February and March to assess the need for crossing guards in future school years. To ensure we meet the required threshold during the count (which will occur on an undisclosed school day during these months), we encourage as many students as possible to walk, bike, or ride scooters to school and utilize this crosswalk during this period.

Your participation helps demonstrate the importance of maintaining safe routes to school for our students. Thank you for your support in keeping our community safe and thriving!

The 100th Day of School is a BIG deal. Students get to celebrate all they have learned over the past 100 days, and it provides an opportunity to reflect on our achievements and gear up for the remainder of the school year. While our youngest learners will have special "100th Day" activities planned to commemorate the milestone, ALL students are invited to dress up as a 100 year-old or wear 100 items to school as a fun way to make the day special and build fond memories of these elementary years.

Talent Show audition sign-ups have closed. We encourage all performers to continue polishing you acts before your tryout this coming Tuesday (2/4) or Wednesday (2/5). Please be on time for your audition.

All music will need to be converted to MP3 files. Here's a YouTube video to guide you in how to do this. All music will need to be emailed to Michelle May at michellemay@conejousd.org in MP3 file format by February 21.

During the next few weeks, the principal will be out at many recesses handing out small prizes to TK-2nd grade students who demonstrate their ability to tie their shoes. Since success is a series of small victories, please be practicing with your young Tigers so they can claim this victory and win a prize.

Get ready to bring your favorite characters to life! Join us for Character Dress-Up Day by dressing as a character from a book, movie, or show. Whether you're a daring hero, a magical creature, or a funny cartoon, we can't wait to see your creativity shine! Let’s have fun and celebrate our favorite characters together!

Hello Wildwood Families!

I would love to make ice cream with the kids but need 3 lb metal coffee containers with the plastic lids for our mixing. If you or your work use them, I would love the empty containers. I've seen them sold at Costco so hopefully someone out there in our community buys their coffee in bulk!

Other wish list items (open and partially used is total fine):

• Corn Starch (the kids are begging to make Oobleck again this year)
• Vegetable Oil (for a density experiment)
• Corn syrup (density again!)
• tin foil
• baking soda

We are excited to share two wonderful opportunities to volunteer at Wildwood and make a positive impact on our students’ school experience!

Create: Arts & Crafts with Students

• When: Thursdays, 9:15 AM - 10:45 AM
• What: Join us for a fun, hands-on session where students get to express their creativity through arts and crafts. This is a highlight of their week and a great way to connect with them!

Take a Look, Take a Book

• When: Last school day of the month, 9:15 AM - 10:45 AM (first recess)
• What: Help students check the lost and found and pick out a book to take home. This event encourages reading while giving students a sense of ownership and excitement about books.

If you’re interested in volunteering for one or both events, please let me know as soon as possible. We would love to have your help in creating these memorable experiences for our students.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference at Wildwood!

Best regards,

Congratulations to Benjamin Zone, Walker DesAutels and JJ Martines for making into the 12th District Show! For some perspective, their work was judged at a school level then went on to the Conejo Council round. The Council show included 7 Conejo Valley School’s Reflections winners. The top 4 in each category went on to the 12th District judging round which included 20+ schools...

BIG Congratulations to JJ Martinez for making it past the 12th District Show and onto the State Round! Only ONE per category moved forward, so lets keep cheering him on!

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.

See the informational flyer below regarding selecting classes for 6th grade at Redwood. Contact the Redwood MS counseling office with any questions or concerns.
