Welcome to our Class!

Welcome to Lykins Elementary! My name is Kelly Wheatley, and I am so excited to be teaching 1st grade. I have had the opportunity to teach 1st, 2nd, and 6th grade throughout my career, but 1st grade truly holds a special place in my heart. I love watching young learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally during such an important year of development.

Outside of school, my life is centered around my family. I have been married to my husband, Terrence, for 10 years, and together we have three wonderful children who keep us very busy and entertained. Our daughters, Rylan (9) and Remy (7), and our son, Reece (5), bring so much joy to our lives. As a family we enjoy spending time together, attending our kids’ activities, being outdoors, and making special memories whenever we can.

I am super excited to be here at Lykins!

meet the teacher

Meet the Teacher will be on Monday, August 11th.

What to do before Meet The Teacher:

Please bring all of the supplies on our 1st grade list. Do not label anything as we will be labeling them the first day. You will be sorting them with your child at meet the teacher.

Daily Folders

Please check your child's folder each day. This will be where notes, weekly guided reading books and other information will be sent home. This is also where you will send notes to school. Your child needs to bring their orange folder to school every day.

CLASS DAILY SCHEDULE

SPECIALS CLASSES

Our students attend a different specials class each day. Students need to wear sneakers every day to safely participate in P.E. or bring them to change into.

SNACK TIME

Please provide a healthy dry snack for your child to eat in class during snack time and a flip top/straw water bottle that can be easily refilled. No screw top bottles please.

LUNCH SERVICE

As our dining services have expanded, so has our system to better serve our Bobcats. This is so all Bobcats who wish to buy their lunch daily or occasionally, may create an account . Additionally, families who qualify for free or reduced meal programs, may indicate that need by filling out the confidential forms. If you qualified last school year, you must fill out the information once again for the 2025-2026 school year. For any Bobcat who had a balance in the My School Bucks system, those funds have been rolled over to the new school year. Your balance should be available when you login.

Change of Clothes

Please keep a Ziplock back of extra clothes in your child's backpack in case they have an accident at school or get dirty and need to change. Label the bag with your child's first and last name. Please make sure to swap out the clothes to fit the changing weather.

Please include:

underwear

socks

shirt

pants
