End-of-Grade testing:
THIRD GRADERS: Tuesday
afternoon, we will receive EOG score reports for third grade students that did
not score a level 3 or above on the third grade end-of-grade reading test. Those students will take the NC Read to
Achieve test on Wednesday morning. Students that did not pass the EOG (level 3,
4 or 5) will be invited to a Read to Achieve summer reading camp. Camp invitations will be sent home Tuesday,
June2; responses must be received by Friday, June 5th.
THIRD, FOURTH, & FIFTH
GRADE STUDENTS: Score reports for all third,
fourth, and fifth grade students will be sent home with report cards.
Questions
can be directed to our testing coordinator, Chris Hahner @ chahner@wcpss.net.
Media Center News: As of Friday, Wiley students still had 174
books checked out from the media center. We cannot afford to lose all of these
books from our collection. Parents, please help your students locate and return
their missing library books. Notices were given to students on Friday with the
title and cost of their missing library books. Typically, these books are on
bookshelves at home or in the student's desk or book box at school. We
appreciate your help in getting these books back to our media center. Thank
you!

Gardens: This summer
we could use some help with watering the veggie garden (and waterers are
welcome to reap what they water!) and helping to keep the grass and clover at
bay in the savannah garden. If you live nearby, please sign up to help:
Field Day: What
a fun time! Thank you to the many
volunteers that helped make it such a successful event … and big thanks to Mr.
Schisler for organizing one of the best days of the year!
Wiley Spotlight
It’s only fitting that this week’s spotlight shines on Mr.
Schisler, our PE teacher (and field day coordinator!).
What do you like to do
during the summer? Travel,
golf, visit family, swim, relax, and spend time with my kids
If you could work
anywhere (other than Wiley), where would it be?
I
would be a Sports Broadcaster - either TV or radio would be fine.
Who was your most
memorable teacher? Mr.
C (Costello) – 7th grade teacher at St. Jude School in Elyria, Ohio.
He was the first teacher I remember that
made learning fun. I remember playing spelling bee basketball. Additionally, this was my first school
experience with a male teacher, and it was inspiring to see a male in this
professional role.
What is something that
you are most proud of, that most people wouldn’t know about you? I
am most proud of the work that it took for me to get where I am now – particularly
the success I experienced in graduate school.
School wasn’t always easy for me, and I finally found something I truly
enjoyed doing.
If you could have anyone
as a teacher who would it be? Someone that could teach me more about
life to help me realize what’s important and not to sweat the small stuff …
Ghandi pops into my head.

News from our Wiley PTA
Thank You
In the frenzy of end of year
activities, it's not easy to find time to reflect on all the PTA has
accomplished this year, but it has been a great year at Wiley! None of it would
have been possible without your generosity and support, so thank you, thank
you, thank you! Have a wonderful summer, and rest up, we've got more great
things planned for next year! Here are a few highlights from 2014/15:
·
Annual Fund- exceeded goal, raised
over $17,000
·
Fun Run - exceeded goal- raised over
$20,000 for technology
·
Provided Media Center with profits
from book fairs, $3800 in new books!
·
Purchased 18 new laptops

playgrounds

Hosted back to school coffees
·
Instituted new clubs program
·
Increased the number and variety of
social events
School Supply Packs: No more wandering
through big box stores looking for the right color folder with no tabs! The PTA
is thrilled to announce a partnership with EPI (Educational Products Inc.) to
provide school supply packs for Wiley students. Orders must be received by
June 29th. Your school pack will be delivered directly to Wiley and be
waiting for your child/ren at Meet the Teacher. It takes less than 5 minutes to
be done with back to school supply shopping!
In years past, the PTA has collected
donations of school supplies and backpacks. Last year, we were able to fill 70
backpacks with supplies for children who needed them. Instead of collecting and
sorting mass amounts of donations, we are asking families who are able, to
consider purchasing an extra pack. We will be accepting donations of backpacks
and expect the need next year to be even greater than years past. Backpacks may
be dropped off at Wiley. Your help is greatly appreciated!
PTA Socials: Want to learn more
about what the PTA is doing at Wiley and how you can get involved? We will have
two opportunities this week for you to find out more!
·
Wednesday June 3rd, join us on the
K-2 playground, for an after school popsicle social.
·
Thursday, June 4th, the PTA Board
will conduct the last meeting of the year on the Rooftop at 401 Oberlin at
6:30pm. All are welcome. Please RSVP by June 2nd to president@wileypta.org, to
receive directions.
