Wedgeworth Families:
- Thank you for a great start to this school year! We are excited for a wonderful year of fun and learning. We are experiencing a growth spurt here at Wedgeworth. We have added a 1st-grade and 4th-grade classroom. Thank you for your support as we keep classrooms at 22:1 or less. We have made some adjustments to help with morning and afternoon traffic. We will continue to monitor and adjust as needed. For the safety of your child please don't use the parking lot to drop off your student. Keep in mind we are the largest elementary school with close to 690 students.
- PTO Big Kahuna Fundraiser has started and will continue through September 11th. Students need to sell at least 15 items to participate in the Limo ride and lunch. Families with more than one student enrolled need to sell 20 items as a family in order to participate in the Limo ride and lunch. Everything we make is spent with our students in mind.
