Looking
for some weekend fun? Let Wiley students provide the
entertainment! Catch the Wiley thespians
in their musical performance of Hello Dolly at Broughton HS Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday evenings. OR, if you’re
looking for something a little more academic … don’t miss the action of the
Wiley Science Olympiad teams in their competition at Broughton HS on
Saturday. Both groups of students have
been going ‘the extra mile’ to ready themselves for the weekend! Good luck!
Don’t forget to wrap-up your weekend by getting
a little dirt under the fingernails.
Gardens & Grounds is sponsoring a workday on Sunday afternoon! Please consider helping us spruce up the
place before we showcase our amazing school on the Magnet Schools of America's national conference tour!

one of our Wiley Wonderers slipped into your suitcase over Spring Break please
allow it to jump into a bookbag to make its way back home. We loved the Tweets … from inside the Wiley

Wiley Band Registration &
Instrument Show and Tell
Registration for the 2015-2016 Wiley
Before-School Band is officially open, and all rising 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders
are welcome to join! If you'd like to learn more about band, please visit
http://www.wileyelementaryband.com.
If your child is interested in joining band,
please join us for Instrument Show and
Tell on April 13 and 15 from 4-5pm in the media center. At Show and
Tell, your child will learn about the instruments in the band, and have the
opportunity to try them out! We'll feature woodwinds (flute,
clarinet, and sax) on April 13th, and brass and percussion (trumpet,
trombone, bells, and snare drum) on April 15th.
Books
are Magic: The
Book Drive has been extended … now is the time to do a little spring cleaning
with those bookcases! Please consider
donating gently-used books for our Wiley “bookstore” that will provide books
for those needing assistance in building their summer book collections.
Collection bins are located throughout Wiley.
End of Grade
Testing: Our End of Grade (EOG)
testing dates have been set. Please mark these dates on your calendar
now! Below you will find the list of specific dates. If you are a K-2
Wiley family, please keep reading! This year we have a greater need for
volunteer test proctors. While proctoring is not the most fun you will ever
have, it’s essential to providing all students with a positive testing
environment. The more volunteer proctors we have, the more teaching assistants
we can leave in your child’s classrooms. Also, by having K-2 families proctor,
this will provide you with insight into the world of EOGs. As a Wiley
family, we look forward to another opportunity to pull together to support our
school!
Proctors will need to
attend a one hour training prior to EOG testing. The training consists of a 30
minute security video and 20 - 30 minutes of talk time. Proctor trainings will
be scheduled the week of May 4th at various times throughout the week.
