As temperatures start to cool, please make sure your child brings a jacket with their name on it. We go out to recess daily.
Dental Presentation – There will be a dental presentation for your child on Wednesday March 2nd. Along with the presentation your child will receive free toothbrushes donated by the Greater Raleigh Dental Hygiene Association.
Reading Project – We are doing another reading project contest. Every student has been provided with paper to work on their 10 projects. Once they submit their 10 projects they will become a VIP Reader and will be able to participate in a soccer tournament in the spring. The dates are still being determined but they can get started now.
Calendar year 2016-2017 – Wilburn will be a single track 4 for calendar year 2016 -2017.
Student Treasures – I would like to publish a class book through Student Treasures. Each student will get a permission slip for parents to sign in their D.O.T folder. Please indicate whether or not you would like a book and sign. You do not need to buy the book, just check the box that says no and sign the page. If you choose to buy the book it is $20 before 3/24 if you wait until after track out it goes up to $24.
Inclement Weather – Be sure to go to http://www.wcpss.net for any inclement weather updates. Often times inclement weather decisions are made late at night and I am not available to update my website.
Special Rotation – Since Track 1 and 4 are both in we are on a 7 day Specials Rotation. As of February 29th our specials schedule will be:
Technology, P.E., Counseling, P.E., Art
Reading Books – Every student will now get a new reading book every Monday. Please make sure your child reads the book every night and returns it on Friday. Please initial the manila envelope your child will receive saying you have read with your child. There will also be a list of reading questions to verbally ask your child to ensure they understand the text.
