Wildwood Weekly

Just like any healthy family, school, or community, Wildwood has a plan and process for restoring relationships when harm has been done. Just as students need coaching when they encounter academic challenges, they also need guidance for managing social difficulties when they arise.

Next week, I will describe our 4-step Restorative Practices plan in detail, but for now, I would like to share with you the programs and measures we have in place to prevent problems before they occur. You've likely heard the axiom, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Here at Wildwood, we find this to be true, and we are proud to highlight the proactive measures that are in place at our school which help keep physical and relational harm at a minimum on our campus:

• ROAR Core Values
• Tremendous Teachers
• A Caring and Skilled Campus Supervision Team
• PTA Sponsored Events and Assemblies that Build Community
• A Proactive and Responsive Office Team
• Parent Volunteers
• Engaging Lessons
• Unity Day (Oct.)
• Wellness Week (Oct.)
• Inclusive Schools Week (Dec.)
• SEL Lessons
• Counseling/Coaching Team
• Conduct Assemblies
• School Resource Officer Support
• Morning Greeters
• Pep Rallies
• Staff Training
• School Site Council Team
• Tigerific Tickets
• Lunch with the Principal
• Academic, Work Habits, and Citizenship Award Recognition Programs
• Strong School-Home-Student Communication
• A Community Committed to Care

That's quite a list! We appreciate EVERY member of our our school community who contributes to the amazing culture of care that pervades our campus.

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch

What: Stand Proud Fulcrum Field Trip

Who: 5th grade students and teachers

When: Monday, January 26, 2026

Departure: The bus will leave Wildwood Elementary at 7:30am. Please have your 5th grader to school on this day by 7:15am.

Arrival: The bus will arrive back at Wildwood Elementary at 4:00pm. Please arrange pick-up accordingly.

What to Know:

• Breakfast: Ensure your child has a nutritious breakfast before arriving.
• Lunch: Pack a sack lunch in a brown bag that can be thrown away. If you ordered a lunch, we will have it for your child on Monday morning.
• Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing, shoes, and apply sunscreen. Bring a sweatshirt, as it may get chilly.
• Belongings: Please leave valuables at home. Students do not need to bring a backpack that day.

This field trip, facilitated by Fulcrum Learning Systems and supported by our counselors and teachers, is an opportunity for students to build teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence.

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.

If you are interested in serving on the 2026-2027 PTA Executive Board or would like to learn more about this opportunity, please click the button below and complete the form or email us at wildwoodtigerspta@gmail.com.

We need your help to make this year’s Wildwood Book Fair a great success! Sign up to volunteer with a friend (or split a shift if that makes it work for you). It’s a fun way to support our school and connect with the community.

✨ Bonus perk: Volunteers receive 20% off their Book Fair purchases during their shift! ✨

👉 Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C48ABAF2CA3F94-wildwood1#/

Let’s show our Wildwood spirit! 💛

Visit literati.com/store to get started. The physical Book Fair will be open at various times during the week of February 2-6.

Our Wildwood PTA website is up and running and is the place to purchase Wildwood created Spirit Wear. Some sizes have been re-stocked, so take a look and get your shirt today- supplies are limited. Please note: all t-shirt purchases are online only and not available in the office.

Talent Show audition sign-ups begin today (January 25) at 10am. See the flier below for details, and click the button below to claim your slot. Sign-up close on Thursday, January 30 at 3pm.

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 Tuesday, February 10.

May the force be with you, capes on, and pixie dust at the door! Our January 30 Spirit Day is Disney / Star Wars / Avengers Day. Students are invited to dress up as their favorite Disney characters, Jedi, superheroes, or galactic heroes. Whether you’re from a fairy tale kingdom, a galaxy far, far away, or the Avengers HQ, show your Wildwood spirit and let your imagination soar! ✨🦸‍♂️🚀

My mother always told me "Many hands make light work", and that's certainly true in education. We want you on campus with us! All adults entering the campus during school hours must sign in electronically with their picture ID in the front office and obtain a visitor or volunteer badge/sticker to be worn at all times while on campus. All volunteers who work with students must have a current TB test or a Risk Assessment Questionnaire on file as well. If you would like to volunteer on campus, and we hope you do, please complete and return the Volunteer Registration Authorization Packet that will be sent home with students on the first day of school. Attach a copy of your license/ID to the packet, or we will make a copy for you in the office on your first visit.

If your child will be absent or arriving late for any reason, please remember to call our office or leave a message on our attendance line at (805) 492-3531 before 8:30am. Be sure to state the date and reason for your child’s absence or late arrival, and your child’s teacher or room number. Any unexcused absence is counted as a truancy. Students are allowed only three truancies per year before action is taken. Planning ahead with your child will also help to avoid unnecessary tardiness. Students who arrive on time feel better about themselves and perform better in the classroom.

Attention Future 6th Grade Redwood Vikings:

Course registration for 6th grade classes is coming soon. All future Redwood families are welcome to join the Redwood course registration presentation on Wednesday, February 11th at 6pm. This meeting will be held virtually via Teams link. See the flyer below for additional information. The presentation will be recorded and posted on our Redwood Counseling website after the session.

Also, save the date for the annual 5th Grade Visit Day! Our 5th grade classes will visit Redwood on March 19th to see what middle school all is about. Additional information to follow as this event nears.

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.
