Kindergarten!
Wilbur Elementary August 2020
A Message from the Principal
As principal at an elementary school, it is always a joy to see the new Kindergarten students enter on the first day of school. We take pride in the fact that we will be the first stepping stone in your child’s journey to a successful educational experience! This year, with a mix of in person and remote learners, things might look different and even be different, but we are all about making sure that our students are taken care of in all ways - physically, academically, socially, and emotionally.
I know that you may be feeling the butterflies in your stomach right now because your baby is going to enter Kindergarten in just a few short weeks. It is usually more stressful on a child’s parents than on him or her! I hope that you will take a deep breath and know that we are going to do everything in our power to make sure that your child’s first year in school is a fantastic experience. We have an energetic group of Kindergarten teachers who work to make sure our students are successful. This work has always paid off with high levels of student achievement and lots of fun.
As we get all the final details worked out for both face to face and remote learning and our year actually gets started, you can count on the fact that we will communicate with you throughout the year. From me, you will receive Wilbur Words, a newsletter with reminders and updates several times during the year. I also rely on using text alerts to get information to families, including important updates and reminders that are time sensitive. If you haven't yet signed up, please use the instructions below. It is simple and will allow you to be the first to know about weather delays, changes in the schedule, or just reminders of days with no school.
Although this is an unprecedented year, with many challenges, we are ready to inspire excellence in your child each and every day! Let the magic begin!
VIRTUAL KINDERDUCTION IS NEXT WEEK!
Our goal for this event is to inform incoming parents of our youngest students about curriculum, social/emotional goals, processes and procedures in order to help you best support your child in his or her first year at the best school in the universe. More specific information will be provided by your child’s teacher at our Open House sessions on August 31 and September 1.
