A Note From Mrs. Wiley
Wildcat families,
Report cards and a number of informational items go home with all students Monday. Please ask your child for these. Contact your child's homeroom teacher if you would like a conference.
Take a look (below) at our important dates. There you will find information on holidays/breaks, performances, testing, 8th grade promotion, and more. Mark your calendars now.
Please be reminded that no student checkouts are permitted after 2:30pm unless for emergencies due to our extensive car line and busy end of day procedures in the building. If your child has an appointment at the end of the day, please arrive prior to 2:30pm.
Now is a great time to talk with your child about making good decisions while at school and remaining focused on academics. Cell phones are to be placed in the locker during the day, and students are always permitted to use the office phone if needed. Cell phones are becoming a huge distraction, and your support of this is greatly appreciated.
As always, it's a great day to be a Wildcat.
Take care,
JW
