Wildwood Weekly

Thank you to all of the Wildwood VIPs who joined us for lunch on campus this past Friday. Our students were thrilled to have you there, and the vibe on campus was uniquely special. We send a BIG Tiger ROAR to our office staff (Karen Meyer, Susan Hollander, and Mimi Arevalo) and the volunteers for making the preregistration and check-in process so efficient.

Our next VIP lunch is scheduled for Friday, April 24. Please save the date and make plans to have another VIP (or the same one...your choice) join us on campus for that special day.

Enjoy these photos below from the event, and remember to email your photos from this and any other school event to our yearbook coordinator, Sarah, at sarahbsheppard@hotmail.com.

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch

Our annual Wildwood Talent Show will take place on February 27, 2026. Do your children have any special talents? Singing? Dancing? Juggling? We’d love to see them! Please encourage your children to start working on their act now. See details below!

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! ✨🦸‍♂️🚀

Head lice are common among school-aged children and are not a health emergency. Wildwood follows CVUSD guidelines that emphasize early detection, proper treatment, and keeping students learning whenever possible. Regular head checks at home and following simple cleaning steps are the most effective ways to manage lice. Our staff is available to support families and answer questions.

Book & Math Materials Organizer:

Support classroom learning by keeping our shared Bookroom and math materials organized and easy to find. Perfect for someone who enjoys tidying, sorting, and creating order. Volunteer anytime between 8am–4pm, one to two hours weekly. (Note: We are thankful to have secured one volunteer for this task, and we are hoping to secure a few more)

CREATE Program Volunteer:

Help bring creativity to life! Supervise students during the CREATE program on Wednesdays from 9:15–10:45am. Set out recyclable building materials for students to design and invent during morning recess, then help tidy up afterward. Volunteer weekly, every other week, or once a month.

DAC Representative Substitute:

Our current AADAC and GATEDAC representative may be unable to attend monthly meetings for the next few months, so we are currently seeking a substitute who can attend these meetings and send the meeting notes to the Wildwood School Site Council (SSC) team. Please take a look at THIS DAC Meeting Calendar if you are interested in lending a hand.

Please contact the school office at kmeyer@conejousd.org or 805-492-3531 to express interest or to learn more about any of these opportunities.

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.

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.
