Wildwood Weekly

All Hands on Deck!

Fall Fest is one of our most attended events of the school year, and it takes an entire school effort to pull it off, so we’re asking each family to help out by signing up for a short volunteer shift and/or help with the bake sale.

Everyone's participation makes a big difference. Wildwood thrives because of our amazing families. The Sign Up Genius for the two links above will close on Thursday 10/23, and any shifts (especially Inflatables and Game Booths) not covered will be forced to close - and nobody wants that! Thank you for helping us pull off a fantastic Fall Fest!

Unity Day is Wednesday, October 22

Wear orange today to show your commitment to be kind to each other and work together as a united team. "Alone, we can do so little: Together, we can do so much." ~ Helen Keller

Wildwood Spirit Day – Crazy Day!

Get ready to show your Tiger spirit on Friday, October 24 for our next special dress-up day: Crazy Day! Come to school wearing your craziest socks, wackiest hair, or silliest outfit — the crazier, the better! Let’s see how creative our Wildwood Tigers can get!

All Grades Costume Parade

Our Annual All Grades Costume Parade will begin at 8:20am on Friday, October 31st. Parents are invited to stay after drop-off and watch the parade. This year, like last year, the parade will weave through each classroom, so parents may gather on one of our two upper blacktops to view the parade as it passes by.

As a reminder, student costumes must be school appropriate. Full face masks, blood or gore, and any type of weapon are not permitted. Also, since this year's parade will weave through the classrooms, we ask all students to avoid wearing inflatable costumes and any costume that covers their face because they make it difficult to navigate the narrow twists and turns through the classrooms.

Any students who do not wish to participate in the parade will be provided an alternate activity.

We will NOT be pre-registering guests for the Costume Parade this year. Instead, we invite families to remain on campus after the 8:05am morning line-up bell. Those of you who arrive after gates are closed at 8:10am may enter campus through the front driveway bike gate which will be open on this morning for campus access.

We look forward to seeing you at our All Grades Costume Parade.

Visitors & Volunteers

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.

Attendance

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.
