Hour
of Code: Huge
thanks to our many volunteers donating their time and talents to
enhance our students’ Hour of Code experience.
Be sure to ask your student all about it!
Wiley
Generosity: Whether
it be a Snowflake gift, a box of Macaroni & Cheese for the food drive, the
gift of your time in a classroom during ‘Wiley Thanks’, the compassionate smile
that you offer, or the kind words of encouragement that you share … thank
you! Our students and staff feel your love, and we are so
appreciative. The Wiley community is
truly one of a kind!
Lost & Found: Lost and Found items will be displayed on a table in the hallway for the next week. Items not claimed will be donated to charity next week.

WCPSS
Survey: WCPSS is conducting a survey in conjunction
with Project Tomorrow SpeakUp to learn more about what those we serve think
about learning in our schools, specifically around how technology supports that
learning. SpeakUp is an online survey for teachers, parents, students and
community supporters. If you haven't done so already, please visit the SpeakUp
website at http://www.speakup4schools.org/speakup2014/.
