The Power of Progress
As an educational institution, we always keep in mind that progress, not perfection, is our goal in every interaction.
To that end, all Tiger students will bring home their first progress report on Friday, October 6. The report itself is general and is intended to serve as a starting point for deeper discussions at parent/teacher conferences the following week.
This coming Wednesday, September 27, every Tiger family will receive an email from your child's teacher inviting you to sign-up online for a parent-teacher conference during the week of October 9-13. Please look for that email in your inbox and sign-up early for a spot that works best with your schedule. This year, parent conferences will be held in person. Parents/guardians can request a virtual conference if needed for a parent/guardian to attend.
We look forward to these "points of progress" discussions with you throughout the school year. It is in our working together, one step at a time, that we will help our students and our community realize great gains.
Warmly,
Mr. Lynch

Birthdays at Wildwood
At Wildwood Elementary, we enjoy honoring students on their birthdays. Teachers take great pride in helping your child feel treasured on their special day. If you do feel the need to send something for your child, please do not send any food items or pass them out to students before or after school. Instead, consider sending small non-edible treats (stickers, pencils, etc.) or a small class gift such as a board game, book, or puzzle with your child's name and birthday on it.
By collectively following these guidelines, our birthday students will be celebrated and the wellness of all members of our Tiger family will be elevated.
School Site Council (SSC)
Thank you to all of our School Site Council members that contributed to this year’s School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA)! The draft version of our school’s SPSA is available now at this link. These plans will be provided to our community and board of education on 9/20 and again on 10/4 for approval.
Odyssey of the Mind Parent/Coach Meeting
This program relies on parent volunteers who serve as coaches for our student teams, and we held our first parent volunteer meeting this past Friday (9/15). In order to host several OM groups at our school, we will need more parent volunteers to step up. Click HERE to familiarize yourself with this program, and if you're interested in learning more or serving as a parent volunteer, join us at our next planning meeting at Wildwood on Thursday, September 28 at 8am.
