Wiggin Street Parent Update
April 24, 2026
Dear Wiggin Street Families,
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Spring Fun Festival! It was wonderful to see current students and families, alumni, and community members come together for such a fun and memorable evening. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did.
It’s hard to believe that next Friday marks the beginning of May, and with it comes many end-of-year activities. I have done my best to include all upcoming events in the schedule below. We are still awaiting confirmation from Central Office regarding the official last day of school due to the number of snow days this winter. At this time, we plan to hold Kindergarten and 5th Grade Graduation on the final day of school, which may be extended to May 29.
Lastly, I would like to invite you to join us for a walkthrough of our MVCSD elementary buildings. Our doors will be open tomorrow, Saturday, April 25, from 9:00–11:00 a.m. and Wednesday, April 29, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. These visits provide an opportunity to see firsthand both the strengths we are proud of and the challenges we continue to address. I will be available at Wiggin Street to answer questions and share insight into how our facilities impact teaching and learning each day.
Warm Regards,
Christy Grandstaff
Principal, Wiggin Street Elementary
