Summer Series: What happens at the school district while students are on summer break? The Operations & Facilities Team was on hand to accept delivery of new district copiers. The Board of Education approved a new 5-year lease for walk-up copiers at the May 2024 Governing Meeting. The O&F team will pass this project along to the Tech Department who will be working with our vendor to manage the installation of the new copiers throughout the month of July and August so they are ready for the new school year. #LifeintheW
Ok - it's go time Wildcat families! All returning students MUST complete Returning Student Registration by July 15.
⚠️ That's ONE WEEK from today. ⚠️
As of 7/8/24 we are at 64%. While we are making great progress, that means 36% of students are not yet registered for school. Please help spread the word to your friends and neighbors.

Ms. Rakosnik sent these photos from their Summer STEM project where students were challenged to build a tower. They used the Scientific Method, made sketches of their towers, hypothesized if the towers would withstand an earthquake, and reported out their conclusions. Great job Wildcats!

A perfect summer day for Wildcat P.E.! Some of the students were outside playing frisbee golf, and some were inside playing tag, basketball, and playing with bouncy balls and scooters. We love to see happy kids on the move. #LifeintheW
Summer in the W: Wildcats enjoying the beautiful day by blowing bubbles and launching rockets!
Wildcat Summer Adventures: Students in Ms. Monaco's class made paper chains and used them to measure different pieces of equipment on/near the playground. They even put all of their chains together to see if the whole class was longer then the paper chains. 😄
Summer Series: What happens at the school district while students are on summer break? The Operations & Facilities Team has many projects across the district to build, paint, repair, replace, assemble and rearrange! Here are photos of the team assembling new furniture.
Go Fish! These Wildcat Summer Adventure students went fishing for math facts with poles and hooks that they made themselves. Once they hooked a fish, they had to take the fish back to their desks to solve the math problem. If they were having trouble catching a fish, they were encouraged to make adjustments to their fishing pole/hook and try to troubleshoot with a friend. The students were cheering each other on, and encouraging each other not to give up. 🎣
Only 38% of families have completed Returning Student Registration so far. Let's see how high we can get that number by the end of this week! (If you are one of the 38% - THANK YOU!)
CALL TO ACTION: This is your reminder to complete Returning Student Registration before July 15. You have less than 3 weeks to get it done. We really need your information completed in July so that we can provide all the back-to-school information you need in August!
TIP: Encourage others to do this BEFORE July 15. When registrations continue to trickle in after the deadline it impacts our ability to finalize class lists and bus routes.
Wildcat Summer Adventures: We have drones! The students built a structure, then flew a drone to inspect the structure as part of their mission today. Super fun hands on learning experience for these students. #LifeintheW
