Class Motto:  The question isn’t who’s going to let us; it’s who is going to stop us.

Each family in our school district should have received a letter informing them of our lack of meeting our Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) at Wheeler Central Elementary School. We as a district, are required to provide additional information concerning our situation.

Currently, we have 38 students enrolled in our Elementary school with 0 taking advantage of school choice. We have no other school districts in our county, so if any students would like to use school choice to attend a different school district, we would provide a list of potential schools. The area of our lack of AYP is in mathematics. Some of the steps we have taken to counteract this is both a school and a district are:  1) Make full utilization of our School wide Title I designation to provide additional assistance for all students, 2) The district purchased the Saxon Math Series for all grades K-6 which has been used by other school district to try and improve testing scores, and 3)  As  a district and school, we will make serious attempts at encouraging all students to try and achieve their very best when we begin taking the NeSA tests later in the Spring

Kindergarten Graduation is at 2:00 PM on 5/12/14 in the New Gym

April 14, Potential students may ride to school on the bus and spend the morning in Kindegarten class with this year’s students. They will spend time with the teacher and students ending their time with lunch and a bus ride home with the preschoolers.
