Helpful LINKS
Get the Word Out
Do you have a neighbor or friend within our Wildwood boundary who has an incoming TK or Kinder student? Please remind them to register NOW to secure their spot and aide us in our projected staffing. We appreciate your help in getting the word out.
Wildwood Enrollment Projection Form
In order to properly plan classes and staffing for the 2024-2025 school year, we are requesting that ALL families who currently have a child attending Wildwood Elementary complete THIS FORM. If you have more than 1 child currently attending Wildwood, please complete a separate form for each child. This form should take less than 1 minute to complete.
Families of 5th grade students do not need to complete this form for your 5th grade student because we are already aware that they will be moving on.
Safe Driving Reminder
Thousand Oaks police officers stopped by the Wildwood office this past week and asked us to remind our families that parking is prohibited on Avenida de Los Arboles. They will be routinely patrolling the neighborhood and ticketing violators.

Feeling the Love in February
This past Friday, our Lunch with the Principal crew had a surprise visit from a skywriting plane that created a heart right above our school. Not long after, our TK class made a visit to my office to show off their newly created Treasure Boxes. The sweetness is in full force this February at Wildwood, and our hearts are full!
Lost & Found
If your child lost a clothing item (LOTS of jackets), lunch bag, or water bottle on campus, it's likely we have found it. Our Lost & Found cart is usually stored in the MPR, and we will begin placing it out front on the last day of every school week for you to sift through. At the end of the trimester, all remaining items will be donated to a local charity.
Next School Spirit Day - March 27
On Wednesday of the last week of school before Spring Break, we will kick off the vacation week with a fun dress-up day: "Tourist Day / Destination Day". Students are encouraged to wear what they might wear on vacation or wear something from one of their favorite destinations. Does your student still have that souvenir shirt, hat, or sweatshirt from your trip to Boston...wear it! Want to wear something celebrating a special town, city, state, or country you love...go for it! Want to go the tourist route...have fun!
