The winter schedule for the Wickliffe PTO’s After School Discovery (ASD) program will be coming home in your child's backpack this week! Registration begins immediately after winter break, on January 5 at 7 p.m., and will run through Tuesday, January 10, at 11:59 p.m. This program lets K-5 students at Wickliffe explore diverse interests through fun extracurricular courses such as sports, creative arts, engineering, languages, and more. Visit https://www.wickliffepto.org/asd to register (on January 5), to see a list of all courses and their descriptions, and for scholarship information. Classes begin on January 17 and will run for six sessions. They will be held at Wickliffe immediately after school from 3-4 p.m.

Visit http://www.wickliffepto.org/open_forms to register. You will be prompted to login, and then After School Discovery will be listed under the heading "Store & Date (Information) Forms." Please look for a confirmation email following registration. Some classes do fill up quickly.

We are also seeking volunteers to help with student dismissal to make sure students get where they need to go after the ASD session ends. They are short, 30-minute volunteer slots, so please consider helping! Even just signing up for a single session would help out. Sign up here.

A limited number of scholarships are available to help close the gap between a family's ability to pay and the course fee. Applications for consideration can be submitted to the ASD Committee through the Scholarship Request Form. Submissions will be treated with discretion and only shared as needed for the purpose of approving and awarding scholarship funds.

The Wickliffe Diversity Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) committee is planning to host a group discussion for our school community about the book Demystifying Disability at next month's meeting (January 19 at 5:30 at Wickliffe). Reserve or buy the book now! Look for a sign-up link coming soon.

Our Staff Appreciation Committee brings a cart of coffee, tea, treats, and snacks around the school to share with all staff. It’s a small but important way to show our educators our immense appreciation for all they do (and help them sneak in a little caffeine!). 

The coffee cart is offered on Wednesdays from 7:45 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. and we are in search of volunteers to help with a morning shift (making coffee, stocking the cart, and walking it around to the classrooms). Can’t join us in person? You can also support by making an early morning donut run. Lots of ways to get involved! Contact Marjie.Bland@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping!
