Birthdays at Wildwood
At Wildwood Elementary, we enjoy celebrating students on their birthdays. All students have their names read over the loudspeaker and receive a birthday pencil first thing in the morning on their birthdays. Teachers also take great pride in helping your child feel treasured on their special day.
Please know that you do not have to send treats or gifts with your child on their birthday. If you do feel the need to send something for your child, please do not send any food items or pass them out to students before or after school. Instead, consider sending small non-edible treats (stickers, pencils, etc.) or a small class gift such as a board game, book, or puzzle with your child's name and birthday on it.
By collectively following these guidelines, our birthday students will be celebrated and the wellness of all members of our Tiger family will be elevated.
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 - We're more than halfway there!
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. Half of our families have already completed this form...Thank you!
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.

Book Fair Volunteers
We need your help to ensure the book fair runs smoothly, and our committee is looking for volunteers! There is a variety of shifts, including before and after school, setup, tear down, etc. Many things can be done from home and don't require a full shift. If you're able to help out, please reach out to Katie Gordon at kathryn.gordon26@gmail.com
Since you’ll be cheering on your child at Jog-a-thon on 3/28, bring in your electronics to be recycled at the same time!! We need all the help we can get to earn School Cents points. More points = more money!! A collection box will be available at the front office.

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!
