Wildwood Weekly

Offering Kindness and Encouragement

The holiday season always provides ample opportunities for us to offer kindness and encouragement to others. At Wildwood, this is one of our four core values that reminds us that we all have the capacity and responsibility to treat others well and build others up. In the weeks leading up to Winter Break, help your children look for ways to do this at home, at school, and in our community. Better yet, do it with them.

To get you started, I've included one of Wildwood's favorite videos about kindness below. Enjoy.

Warmly,

Mr. Lynch

Wildwood Spelling Bee

On Monday, November 17, Wildwood will conduct the first round of this year's school spelling bee. All interested 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are invited to the MPR after they eat lunch to take a 25-question spelling test that will determine the 8-12 students who will move forward to our final spelling bee in December. Any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade students who are absent on November 17 may join us for a make-up test at the same time and place on Tuesday, November 18.

Quick-N-Easy Volunteer Opportunities

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.

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.
