This week  marks the beginning of the Evergreen Lake Project and the westbound Hwy 74 detour.  The increase in travel time is expected to be approximately 10 minutes.  Please see this flyer for more information about the impact now and through the summer:  Evergreen Lake North Trail.   Due to congestion and detours, our bus arrival and departure times will be impacted.  

We also have some schedule changes coming up later this week.  On Thursday, May 4th there is a district wide 2 hour late start so our bell will ring at 10:45.  On Thursday evening, please join us in person or virtually for a meeting about improvements to the "fields" on the south side of Wilmot.  West Jeff Baseball will be sharing their plans for this area at 6:00 in the Wilmot cafeteria or online at meet.google.com/mqb-zhti-rxr .

On Friday, May 5th and Monday, May 8th there are two modified contact days so teachers can collect data about your child’s progress towards grade level benchmarks and standards.  Please visit the Calendar Reminders section below for the link to sign your child up for an assessment appointment with their teacher.  Be careful to scroll all the way left to right to ensure you are signing up for an appointment with the right teacher.  

We are really hoping to continue Mileage Club on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next three weeks, but we need your help to make it work.  We must have enough volunteers to provide support with supervising and cheering students on, logging laps, and handing out the little running feet.   Please see below for more information and a link to sign up.   

If you are wondering about child care options available for preschool through 5th students next year, please take a moment to scroll down to the flyers from Rocky Mountain Kids - RMK.  There will be a virtual informational meeting on Thursday, May 11th and there will also be representatives from Rocky Mountain Kids available in person to answer questions at our Spring Dance on Friday, May 12th.  I will provide more details about the virtual meeting in my message next week.  In addition to the opportunities provided through RMK, EPRD will be offering activity based transportation and care next year.  I will share more details about their offerings as soon as they are available.   Also below  you can find information about summer camp opportunities for our preschoolers, middle school information for our 5th graders, the spring dance, ordering school supplies, and community opportunities.
