Wilder Elementary School
Parent Newsletter - February 2020
Greetings Wilder Families!
As I write this message, students and staff are spending the day celebrating 100 days of school! We are well into the second half of this school year so it is also the time we look ahead to next year. Kindergarten Round Up is earlier this year. It is set for Thursday, March 12 from 1:30-2:30 with parents and Kindergarten-to-be students encouraged to join us. Will you please spread the word amongst your friends and neighbors? See the article below with specific information about Kindergarten Pre-registration. We are eager to meet our new Kindergarten students and their parents on March 12.!
Students are excited to be starting their Artist in the Classroom sessions which are now underway and will take us through the end of the year. The Artwise Art Show is scheduled for March 31-April 5 at Columbia Mall.
We will soon be scheduling Parent Teacher Conferences which take place the first week of March. We value this time to share progress your student has made toward goals set early in the school year. It is a time to celebrate successes and look ahead with parents as our partners in helping students continue to learn and grow!
Thanks, parents, for all you do to support your child’s learning at Wilder Elementary. We appreciate the time and attention you give your children to help them be successful at school.
Mrs. Wiegandt
Kindergarten Roundup/Registration Scheduled!!
In order to help better prepare for your arrival at Kindergarten Roundup/Registration, we would like you to take a few minutes to complete our online Pre-Registration form. This Google Form (http://bit.ly/Kindergarten2020) will allow us to capture information so we can begin your student's enrollment now and cut down on waiting time at school that day.
Bring your child to meet the teachers and experience some time in the Kindergarten classroom! Parents will meet in the gym to receive important information at the same time.
Please let your friends and neighbors know. To confirm your child's attendance, or to get more information, please call the Wilder office at 746-2320.
