Wicker News for Parents

Calling all Fifth Grade Parents! Come out to this important information session hosted by our 5th Grade teachers! They will give information about upcoming Middle School tours, upcoming Check-Ins Testing, Field Trip information, grades, and more! You do not want to miss the opportunity to chat with the teachers and hear the information for yourself!

On March 14, 2025, we will celebrate Pi Day schoolwide! Our students will understand that Pi is longer than 3.14! We have scavenger hunts, paper chains being made per class, eat pies, and much more!

Students in Grades 3-5 will take Check-Ins #3 during the week of March 17th- 21st. These test will help us to gauge each child's academic growth since the last state assessment. We use this data to help drive instruction and build our intervention groups to give students the extra support that they need in specific areas.

On Saturday, March 22nd, we will host the Science Olympiad at W.B. Wicker Elementary School. We have a team of students representing our school that will participate. Thank you Mr. Stinson, our STEM teacher, and all of the teachers (coaches) who are helping to prepare our students for this competition. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy! Registration for all teams begin at 8:00am. Competitions will begin at 9:00am.

In conjunction with the North Carolina Science Festival, on April 25th, we will celebrate a Duke Energy STEM Night. 5th grade students will conduct science projects that will be on display for everyone to see! Our students will highlight standards that they have mastered over the school year and bring it to life through their project! These projects will allow our students to be creative and demonstrate their understanding of the content while having fun!

We would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedule to come read to our students last week! Our students felt very special and some of our readers became characters themselves! It was a great time had by all! We look forward to having everyone back next year for this annual event! #ReadersMakeLeaders #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek #NeverStopReading
