End-of-Grade Testing Reminder for Grades 3–5

Mark your calendars! End-of-Grade (EOG) testing for students in grades 3–5 is scheduled for Tuesday, June 3 through Thursday, June 5. Our students and teachers have been working hard all year, and this is their time to shine! Please help us create a calm, focused environment by ensuring your child is well-rested, arrives on time, and is ready to do their best each day. Your support makes a big difference—thank you for all you do!

Last Day of School, Report Cards, and Summer Hours  

We almost made it! The last day of school for students is Friday, June 13. Report Cards will go home on the last day of school. If you are unable to pick up your report card and all other items on the last day of school items left behind will be available for pickup after the last day of school during summer office hours. The building will be open for summer hours Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3:00 pm. 

EOG State Test and Readministration! 

Students who meet the criteria for our End-of-Grade (EOG) Remediation and Readministration program will receive an invitation to participate.

For planning purposes, the program will take place on Monday, June 16 and Tuesday, June 17. Transportation will be provided, along with a light breakfast and lunch.

Students may be eligible if they received a Level 3 or 4 on their Quarter 3 report card in an EOG-tested subject but scored Not Proficient on the initial EOG assessment.

Please note:

• Participation is optional for eligible students.
  
  

• EOG retest scores do not affect promotion or retention decisions. These are based on a comprehensive review of student performance throughout the school year.

If you have questions about your child’s eligibility or the program, please contact us directly.

After-School Playground REMINDERS 

We love seeing students and families enjoying time together after school! To ensure everyone’s safety and maintain a respectful environment, please review and follow these important reminders:

• Dismissal Cards Required: Students are dismissed only when a walkers card is shown to a staff member. Need a replacement? Visit the front office with a valid photo ID.
  
  

• Supervision Is a Must: Students must remain within sight of their supervising adult at all times and follow all behavior and campus care expectations.
  
  

• Playground Access: After school, students may play only on the K–2 playgrounds. The cafeteria lawn and ceremonial front entrance are off limits.
  
  

• Clean Up: Please help students remember to take all belongings and trash when leaving.
  
  

• Respect the Space: Digging holes, disturbing mulch, picking leaves, and climbing trees or structures not meant for climbing are not allowed.
  
  

• Play Safely: Balls may be thrown, but sticks and rocks may not. The slide is for one-way use—top to bottom only.
  
  

• Walking Home: 4th and 5th graders with a pink walkers card may walk home independently. They may not remain on campus unsupervised. Violating this rule may result in the loss of this privilege.

Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe, clean, and welcoming for all!

🚗 End-of-Year Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

As we approach the end of the school year, we want to thank you for your continued support in keeping arrival and dismissal safe and smooth. Please remember that arrival and dismissal routines remain unchanged and are more important than ever.

Key Reminders:

• Continue to follow all carpool procedures in the morning and afternoon.
  
  

• Remain at the entrance until 8:45 AM for morning drop-off and 3:30 PM for afternoon pick-up.
  
  

• Our carpool line moves efficiently—please do not break the line.
  
  

• Any transportation changes must be made before 3:00 PM.
  (The office is closed from 3:30–4:15 PM during dismissal.)

Thank you for your attention to these important procedures and for helping us end the year strong!

Walker Families 

As a friendly reminder, I ask our walker families and those who stay after school to socialize to please be mindful of where you park. A homeowner on Valley View has expressed concerns about cars parking on both sides of the street, leading to traffic congestion, blocked driveways, and even minor accidents.

Wiley is part of a larger community, and it’s important that we show kindness, empathy, and respect to our neighbors. To help keep our students safe and traffic flowing smoothly, please park on only one side of Valley View moving forward.

Thank you for your cooperation and for being a wonderful part of our Wiley community!
