Spring Conferences and Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration was on March 4. If you have an age eligible student for kindergarten next year (5 years old by September 15), please stop into the office with your proof of residency, birth certificate and immunization records.
A Few Reminders About Drop Off and Pick Up
- Muddy Creek Lane is available for drop off and pick up. This is a great option for families that want to avoid Oakdale Blvd traffic.
- Students who need to cross Oakdale must use the trail leading to the underpass. Students, and adults, for safety reasons should not cross Oakdale Blvd.
- Morning drop off lanes become turning lanes as you progress through the line. If you are in the inside (median) lane you will turn left on to Oakdale. If you are dropping off on the school side lane you will turn right on to Oakdale. Please stay in your lane as this helps the flow of traffic.
World Wide Wickham!
We are seeking presenters for this year’s event! A presenter will set up a table/booth and is responsible for bringing artifacts, music, clothing and/or food from your family’s native country. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your country and we would like as many countries represented as possible. Last year we had over 17 countries represented!
If you are interested in being a presenter and are willing to share artifacts and/or food from your country, please complete the form below by April 11th.
Thank you in advance for your willingness to help make this a cultural event to remember!

Wickham Elementary Class Placement
The placement of children in classes is an important decision. When determining homeroom placements, we strive for continuity and balance in many areas including but not limited to gender, range of developmental stages, social mixture, and culture. Our goal is to create heterogeneous homerooms that reflect the diversity of our community. Therefore, we work through an extensive process to determine class placement for each school year. This process includes much collaboration among teachers and principal to analyze student data while considering the many factors mentioned above to compile class lists. Honoring the decisions made by the educational professionals in regard to the class make up is extremely important.
Wickham will not accept requests for placement in a specific teacher’s classroom. Principal and staff will take into consideration information parents/guardians provide regarding specific or unique academic, behavioral, social/emotional or health related needs.
Educational Consideration Forms are available in the main office. Forms are due back by Friday, April 12th.
Sibling Match
Parents may request a teacher who taught an older sibling. These requests will be considered but will not be guaranteed. Exceptions to the “Sibling Match” requests are made by the educational team, when necessary, to maximize educational services and resources for all students.
