Patriot Peek at the Week News

September 27th-October 1st

Patriot Peek atthe Week NewsSeptember 27th-October 1st

Dear Wolf Ridge Students and Families,

We had a blast celebrating Start with Hello Week! Welcoming our students into our building each morning and being able to greet them is the best part of my day. It was fun to have other special greeters and dress-up days throughout this week. Check out the video below and our Bunker Hill CUSD8 Facebook Page for pictures from throughout our fun week together.


While it is hard to believe, next week will be the start to October. The end of our first quarter of school will be on October 15th. We will host parent teacher conferences on Tuesday, October 5th from 4:00-7:30 and Thursday, October 7th from 2:30-5:30. Students will dismiss at 2:00 PM on each of these days to allow teachers time to prepare for conferences that evening. Teachers will be sending out information about scheduling a meeting during our conference times sometime this week. We would like to meet with everyone to discuss your child's progress so far this school year.


You should also be receiving information about our fall fundraiser for Wolf Ridge next week. We typically only have fundraisers once every other year to raise much needed funds for our school. These funds have been used in the past to offer special events and activities for our families, support our classrooms, and add to our playground. Thank you in advance for participating and helping to support our school.

Ms. Manar Provides SEL Lessons Ms. Manar Provides SEL Lessons

Ms. Manar scheduled many fun activities for our staff and students throughout this week to promote Start with Hello Week. You may also hear your child talk about Ms. Manar as she visits each classroom every other week to provide SEL (Social Emotional Learning) lessons to students. These lessons teach students how to manage their emotions, make and maintain positive friendships, and cope with negative situations or events that may arise. In the picture above, Ms. Manar is reading "Raindbow Fish to the Rescue" to Ms. Craig's kindergarten classroom. Each student in our school designed his/her own fish and learned about appreciating our differences and reaching out to others this week.

Parent Teacher Conferences are Coming Soon! Parent Teacher Conferences are Coming Soon!

Teachers will be sending home information about how to schedule a conference during our Parent Teacher Conference nights on October 5th and 7th at Wolf Ridge. Parents/Guardians will have the option of meeting in-person or virtually via Zoom. Check backpacks and notifications via Remind or email for more information specific to your child's classroom/grade level.
