Message From Mrs. Merivirta
The excitement is building. One week until we welcome our Coyotes back to another amazing school year!
The first day of school (August 29) will be a half day for our students. Full days will begin on Wednesday, August 30. Please note the change in school times; we are returning to pre-pandemic bell times. School will begin at 9:00 AM and dismiss at 3:50 PM; half/day dismissal will be 12:04 PM.
As mentioned in our previous Wiley Way, please plan to join us for a SNEAK PEEK on Monday, August 28, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This evening will provide an opportunity for you and your child to locate where their new classroom will be, as well as locate the door that they will use to enter school. In addition, the Parent Volunteer Group will be providing ice cream treats on the playpad~ take time to reconnect with friends, teachers and meet new people! The group will also be providing sidewalk chalk for students to write welcome back messages for our return to school.
Our Open House (curriculum night and meet the teacher) will be held on Thursday, September 7th at 6:30 PM. The evening is intended for parents to come and learn about their child(ren)'s teacher and grade level expectations. We hope that you will be able to join us.
Lastly, if you are interested in DEVICE INSURANCE, please note that the price per device this year is $17.50 and is payable through Wiley Payschool. The deadline to purchase insurance will be Friday, September 8, 2023. If you are need assistance, please call the office.
As always, we look forward to working in partnership this year to help every child succeed!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Merivirta
