Thank you Wingard Elementary community for helping us to remain a top producer of successful students.
Character Trait 
Perseverance is our character trait for the month of July!

We hope everyone is having a great summer vacation! 
 
This week, our wonderful teachers have been working on lesson plans and getting their classrooms ready to welcome back our students on August 15. We are so excited to see the wonderful things our students will learn and accomplish this year at school!
 
We are looking forward to seeing you at Meet the Teacher on Thursday, August 11, from 3:00 PM-6:00 PM. Be sure to arrive early for the Bucket Fillers play that will be presented in the cafeteria at 3:00 PM.

You are welcome to bring any supplies already purchases to leave in the classrooms when you visit during Meet the Teacher.  We are thankful for our Partners in Ed, Business Essentials, who will be providing backpacks filled with supplies during the Meet the Teacher event.

If you have had a change in address or an expired lease, be sure to bring the updated information this week to Ms. Perez, our registrar. We want to have accurate contact information for all our Patriot families.
 
Sincerely,
 




Ms. Meigan Rivera, Principal
