Staff Appreciation Week starts Monday!

 

Wiley PTA needs your help to celebrate our wonderful Wiley teachers and staff. The PTA has planned a series of events to honor staff each day of the week.

• Monday: We Donut Know What We'd Do Without You. PTA catered breakfast. Volunteer for carpool or bus duty so staff can enjoy their PTA breakfast.

• Tuesday: Wiley Staff Is Noteworthy. Send in cards to staff and volunteer to be a classroom guest reader.

• Wednesday: Taco ‘Bout Nacho Average Staff. PTA catered lunch. Volunteer for lunch duty so staff can enjoy their PTA lunch.

• Thursday: You’re All That And A Bag Of Chips. Donate to the snack & beverage cart and send in favorite things for staff.

• Friday: Your Presence Is A Gift: Send in a gift card ($20-$50 range) by Thursday, 5/9. Gift cards will be distributed to staff on Friday, 5/10.

Purchase 2024-2025 School Supplies Online

 

Wiley PTA has partnered with EPI to save you time in shopping for classroom supply kits. For each of your children, order one grade-level pack and one “All Lang./Electives Classes” pack and they will be delivered to your child’s classroom.

 

You can also order additional packs for students in need by adding extra packs to your cart and labeling them Donation Donation (first and last name). 

To purchase, visit www.educationalproducts.com/shoppacks and enter Wiley’s school ID: WIL772.

 

Lost and Found

 

Please check out the current Lost and Found inventory. You may claim your item(s) in the Lost and Found Room in the cafeteria.

 

Dreambox Usage

 

Students are expected to complete at least 5 lessons a week in Dreambox. A Harvard University study has shown that just 60 minutes of DreamBox lessons per week can fast-track your students up to two grade levels in a year. We recommend that students complete five or more lessons per week with DreamBox Learning because students who complete five lessons each week show more math growth than those who complete fewer lessons. One lesson takes about 15 minutes. Dreambox is adaptive and constantly responding to the skills and understanding of your child. Having your child complete at least one Dreambox lesson a week can help your child’s teacher better understand their need, extend their learning, and/or address learning gaps.
