Hello Wicklund Community,
Big congratulations to our Science Olympiad teams! Wicklund had an outstanding showing at the San Joaquin County Science Olympiad tournament. If you haven’t see the article in the Tracy Press, check this out! Also, our soccer teams have had outstanding games the first few weeks of the season.
I want to remind all members of our Wicklund community about pick-up and drop-off procedures. Please be mindful of others and do not stop in the middle lane of the drop off area to let your child out of the car or pick them up. The only place your child should get in or out of the car is alongside the curb or in a designated parking spot. Having your child enter/exit the car in areas not designed for pick-up or drop-off creates a safety hazard for them and increases traffic frustration. Thank you for your cooperation.
I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate diversity within our school community. The month of Ramadan is a special time for many of our students and their families, and we want to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging at Wicklund. We encourage all students to learn about different cultures as a way to foster empathy among peers. We have such a great community here at Wicklund!
Next week is Disability Inclusion Week. We are encouraging all families to come out and participate in family night on Wednesday, March 20th from 6-8pm and for the Friendship Stroll on Sunday, March 24th. Along with family night and the Friendship Stroll, please encourage your child to participate in the week of events (included in this newsletter.)
I hope you all are looking forward to something relaxing or fun during the upcoming Spring break. I will be walking the Great Glen Way in Scotland (80 miles) and am looking forward to a feeling of rejuvenation in preparation for a busy April and May.
Please always feel free to reach out if you have any concerns.
Warm regards,
Karen Perez
