What to Watch for This Week:

Hello Wickliffe families!

Happy New Year!  We hope that you had a restful and fun winter break. We're excited that the students on the school pathway are back in hybrid mode and seeing their teachers again, it feels like a good start to the year!

Here's what to watch for this week: 

  • if your child switched pathways, please take a moment to update the directory with your child's classroom teacher (or online academy). It's easy, please click here (full details below).
  • please mark your calendar for next Wednesday (1/13) for January's restaurant fundraiser at Chipotle, Kingsdale. Foil your dinner plans and stop by Chipotle to support our school!
  • and we've added new dates to the teacher appreciation snacks, please consider signing up to drop some snacks off at Kelley's house to treat our teachers. Details below. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Dewey's fundraiser in December, together we raised over $600 for the school.

Read on for the hybrid/remote meal plan updates: the USDA Waiver, making school lunches free to all students, has been extended to the end of the school year; and there's a new remote pickup form for multi-day meal packs, for students who are remote learning.  

Please check the calendar for other important dates, including the district wide parent webinar with Dr. Emily King this Wednesday evening at 6:30pm, the link will be mailed to parents on the day. 

Have a great week!

Kelley Swiney and the whole PTO.

Directory - Search by Teacher

Tips and Tricks: How to assign your student's classroom teacher in the directory

The directory is set up to allow you to search for the contact information of your student's friends in multiple ways - by student or by parent, by name or by grade.

We also have the option to search by classroom teacher but in some cases the assignment is missing. Please match your student to their teacher:

  • click the link below,
  • if prompted, sign in (with your email address and password)
  • select the appropriate teacher name from the list, and
  • click save.
