Patriot Peek at the Week News

I hope that everyone enjoyed their spring break last week. All of our amazing Wolf Ridge staff and students returned feeling refreshed and ready to conquer fourth quarter. Everyone needs a little break sometimes.

The weather has been so nice to once again get students outside for learning and play. We have just over 6 weeks left in our school year to make a difference. Please continue to encourage your child to do their very best to finish out the year. There is also still time to register for our summer learning camp. The link to register can be found below.

We will also be asking our students to do their very best when participating in state testing. The state mandates that students take the Illinois Assessment of Readiness in grades 3-8. Students will participate in testing the week of April 26th-30th. More information about these tests and ways we will try to make the best of it and have a little fun at Wolf Ridge that week will be sent home soon.

Please know that our staff at Wolf Ridge cares very much about each of our students. If you ever have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here for you!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Ronen

Student Council is excited to announce the RETURN of the COLOR RUN! We will be hosting the event on Saturday, May 1st at the Bunker Hill Community Center starting at 8:30. We will have a few changes this year to adhere to safety guidelines including staggered start times and masks when not able to be socially distanced (start/finish line). This event has been approved by the City of Bunker Hill and the Macoupin County Public Health Department.

If you were registered last year, your registration will be good for this year (unless you requested a refund last August). We will be emailing participants to make sure shirt sizes are the same.

Below are the forms to register and/or to be a sponsor. It's a really fun event and our kids (and adults) always love it! Forms were also sent home with each student and additional forms will be available in the office.

Students in grades 3-8 will be taking the IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness) during the week of April 26th. There is no virtual option for remote students. Remote students will either need to come in during testing times this week or be counted absent for testing days. Your child's teacher will provide you with information about specific times for testing this week.

We are excited to announce that we will honor our 8th graders on May 13th at 7:00pm. If there is inclement weather, our rain date will be May 27th. Students will be allowed to invite up to 6 guests. All guests should plan to bring their own lawn chair as the ceremony will take place on the BHHS Football Field. Families will be social distanced and masks will be required.
