Wildwood Weekly
September 3, 2023
First Full Week - Complete!
Our year is off to a fantastic start! A few important reminders:
- The heat is here, but we're keeping our cool! A big THANK YOU to our campus supervisors who make sure our Tigers remain cool, hydrated, and make use of the shady and air conditioned areas that are always available on especially warm days. We continue to follow district guidance by making the air conditioned MPR available during recesses when the temperature reaches the mid-90's. When the temperature reaches 98+ degrees, all lunch and recesses will take place in air conditioned buildings. Be assured, our students' safety is always our first priority.
- Please support our school and students by joining PTA. Our PTA supports many programs at Wildwood including dance, art, PE, STEAM lab, assemblies, field trips, classroom supplies and much more!
- Please remember that NO students (except morning childcare students), may enter the campus before 7:45am because there is NO supervision on campus. Students dropped off near the back gate before this time must wait to enter the campus until a campus supervisor arrives at the gate at 7:45am.
- Please remember that the 8:05am bell is the reminder for students to make their way to their classroom lines and for parents to make their way to the campus exits. The 5 minutes between the 8:05am warning bell and the 8:10am bell is an important window of time for students to settle their bodies and ready their minds for the day ahead.
Enjoy your Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 4th, and we will see you back at school when classes resume on Tuesday, September 5.
Warmly,
Mr. Lynch
