Halloween at Wildwood

Wildwood School will recognize Halloween on October 31st. Students are welcome to wear costumes, however are under no obligation to do so. Students must be able to get through a typical day of learning in their costume. Costumes must NOT be excessively scary, or have weapons. Students are not to wear masks. If you would like your child to participate, but do not have a costume, please contact your child’s teacher. We have had many donations.


If you are bringing snacks, they must be nut free, all ingredients labeled, and brought to the office.


Winter Clothing Donations

We are in need of a few winter items for students:

Boots - sizes 12-3 and 5-7

Snow Pants -

Radon Testing

This fall the CBE will be conducting tests for radon gas in a number of schools across our system, including ours. Radon gas is odorless, tasteless and comes naturally through the soil. When the gas reaches unsafe levels, over many years of exposure, the gas is known to have harmful effects on health. If testing reveals a heightened presence of radon, various mitigation strategies can be implemented to reduce the gas concentration to safe levels.

Testing involves hanging a small, round testing device (alpha tracker) for 91 days from the ceiling in areas of the school that are occupied 4 or more hours a day. The device is passive, which means it omits no information, sounds, or smells.

The device will be installed on a non-instructional day, evening or weekend, so it will not interrupt learning.
