Help in the lunch room

8/12/2024 2:58 pm

Chef Jim and staff need two volunteers every school day to help with lunch service. This is a fun and fast-paced activity that really helps the lunch periods go smoothly. Plus, it's a great way to see your little one(s) during the day! Sign up here.

Please remember to bring a hat or other hair restraint and sign in at the main office.  Be sure to wash your hands once you arrive, grab an apron, and have fun! 

If there's a conflict on your volunteer date, please call the school at 614-487-5150 as soon as possible to get the message relayed to Chef Jim. Once the year gets going, a list of available subs will be created to assist with covering shifts.

If you have some lunchtime flexibility and are interested in being a sub, reach out to Andrea Porter at acporter426@gmail.com to be added to the list.  

*These spots go fast, so in the spirit of allowing everyone who wants to help get the chance to sign up, please be mindful of how many shifts you sign up for initially.  

2024/2025 Classroom Coordinators

Classroom coordinators aim to help teachers. They serve as liaisons between teachers and classroom families, helping to bridge communication and community. They relay information to families about announcements, reminders, activities, events, and volunteer opportunities within the classroom and the larger community.

Interested in pursuing this role for your child’s classroom this year? Indicate your interest here or email Anita Bracha at a_rigoli@yahoo.com.

Fall 2024 After School Discovery

8/11/2024 3:14 pm

We are starting to plan for this year's PTO After School Discovery program. This program lets K-5 students explore diverse interests through fun extracurricular courses like STEM, fashion, Lego sculptures, magic, chess, music, drama, basketball, and more! After School Discovery has been a huge success in the past because of the amazing support from our Wickliffe community, including school staff, families, and local businesses.

Do you have a special skill or interest that you want to share with Wickliffe students? We are accepting instructor applications for courses for the 2024-2025 school year. After School Discovery classes will begin Monday, September 23, are usually offered once per week, and run for six classes (with no class on days where there is no school) plus a make-up class if needed. All course instructors will be compensated through course fees. The instructor sets the price, class size, grades, and curriculum, and we coordinate the rest. If you or someone you know has a skill or passion to share with K-5 students through After School Discovery, please apply here, or contact the ASD planning committee at wickliffeptoasd@gmail.com. Applications are due August 23. Thank you!

Wickliffe Family Directory

8/6/2024 1:10 pm

If your children are like ours, once they discover who their teacher is, they can't wait to know who else will be in their class!

To safeguard students' privacy, the school does not share class lists - however, families can add a student's teacher assignment to the Wickliffe family directory. Once others update the teacher assignment for their children, you will be able to connect with the families in your child's class. Please take a moment to add your child's teacher assignment to your family's directory profile by clicking here (or use the PTO website menu option My Account / My Forms / Step 1: Family Information > Next Step to Step 2: Student Information).

The online directory can only be viewed by current Wickliffe families. The Wickliffe Family Directory is a secure, password-protected online directory that allows Wickliffe families to easily update their own contact information and find the contacts of the parents of their student's classmates and friends. Find out more in the Directory FAQs.

Back to school 2024/2025

7/31/2024 9:10 pm

Back to school is right around the corner! Pay for a PTO membership, school supplies, and field trip transportation fees all in one place - click here. 

These fees help ensure all students are fully supplied throughout the year and pay for field trip bussing. Field trip funds have traditionally been collected by teachers, but now the PTO coordinates payment upfront to remove this burden.
