Dear Parents/Guardians,
To all of our families - Welcome to Wildwood School! We are excited for the start of the new and wonderful school year of 2017-2018. Our teachers have been in getting their classes ready for the first day of school. We have also been involved in planning for the new school year with staff.
As with any new school year there is so much information that all families require. This year our School Council arranged for some parent volunteers to come in and organize the school packages so they will be ready to come home the first week of school. A huge thank you, to those volunteers!
For students that are taking the bus, the Transportation Maps are available on the CBE website at http://www.cbe.ab.ca/schools/busing-and-transportation/Pages/bus-maps-andschedules.aspx. As you look at your map you will notice that changes have been made to the routes as congregated (fewer) stops have been implemented to shorten ride times for our students. This decision was not made lightly by the Calgary Board of Education. It was required in order to streamline services and ensure equitable access to all riders. On the first day of School (September 5, 2017), we will meet all our students and families outside. For those students taking the bus, they will be greeted when they arrive at the school. For our new and young students, they will be escorted to their designated area. We are enclosing a map (as an attachment) that shows where your child will meet their teacher. All families should have received a call from their teacher this week. If you did not receive a call, please make sure the school has your correct number. On September 5, there will also be an Information Center located in the middle of the compound. This will have the map and also the class lists and we will be able to tell you the name of your child’s teacher. The teachers will also be outside to call out the names of the students in their class. The teachers will then take the students to their respective classroom.
At this time, we invite all our parents to join us on the compound for coffee. Mr. Toews and Mrs. Prevette will welcome all our families to Wildwood School. Representatives from School Council will also be available for information and questions.
Please look forward to more information as the school year begins!
