Wiggin Street Parent Update

Dear Wiggin Street Families,

This has been a great week at Wiggin Street which began with our K-2 Spring Musicals. The students put on an amazing performance under the direction of Mrs. Springer. We appreciate all the work that went into preparing the students and we're super proud of them!

I have included many pictures from other fun happenings this week. Matilda Sulzer was teacher for a day, the Kindergarten and First Grade students traveled to the Memorial Theater to see Seussical Jr., and the kindergarten got our Spinomi up and running.

Lastly, Ellis and Addy shared with students in the above video about our upcoming PBIS Dance Reward for students that have earned 50 PBIS points. Students in all grades have been learning dances in the gym through a collaboration with Mr. Evans and Mrs. Springer. It will be Thursday afternoon which will be a nice ending before a long weekend for students due no school on Friday for Teacher In-service.

We hope you have a great weekend!

Best wishes,

Christy Grandstaff

The deadline for Spring Picture orders being turned into the school is next Monday, March 13th.

Thanks to our Kindergarten teachers and students, the ground is level and the Spinomi is open! We appreciate their service to our school and their leadership!

Ms. Sulzer had fun teaching 3rd grade today. She had her own desk, checked homework, led the class meeting, made our schedule for the day, organized crafts, a dance party, and helped with the Battle of the Books practice.

Our next meeting will be April 11th (instead of April 4th). Officer Nominations will be done at that time with voting on May 2nd for the 2023/2024 school year.

SAVE THE DATE for the Fun Festival Community Event April 21st 5:00-8:00pm!

If you have any questions concerning Continuing Open Enrollment, please contact Jessica Shelton jshelton@mvcsd.us or contact John Frye jfrye@mvcsd.us .

On March 27th, MVCSD will have a 2-hour delayed for teacher professional development. Our elementary teachers will be using the additional time to complete Dyslexia training modules through Ohio Department of Education.

Please keep these dates in mind when scheduling appointments for April. Make-up testing takes some of our educators away from intervention instruction, so we like to limit it as much as possible.

3rd-5th Grade ELA: April 12-13

3rd-5th Grade Math: April 18-19

5th Grade Science: April 25-26

This site for students and families has lots of great information about the state test and 3rd grade Reading Guarantee. It also has a practice test that can be found in the image at the top of the page.
