Wheeler Families, 

We hope everyone had a wonderful long Labor Day Weekend! Our staff was able to collaborate the entire day on Tuesday to dig into data and set up curriculum and planning for the rest of our semester. Your children are all working so hard and I know that our staff feels so energized by working with them every day!

Our Fun Run Fundraiser is well under way! We are so appreciative of any of the efforts that your family is taking to support Wheeler. Our Fun Run fundraiser allows for us to do the amazing things all year long such as our upcoming Author Visit and building upgrades like the new front hall mural.  See below for more details on the Fund Raiser as well as next Friday's fun run event!

Have a great weekend!

Question: Can we bring in cash or checks donations?

Answer: Yes! Please bring those to the office! We submit them at the end of the event and have a process to mark kids to earn prizes.

Hello from the Health Room!

In accordance with Nebraska State Statute #173 NAC 7, Millard Public Schools is required to provide a health screening that includes dental, vision, and hearing screenings, as well as weight and height. The health room will conduct a full screening of students in Pre-K through 4th grade. Kindergartners will be screened only for the items missing from their Kindergarten Physicals. You do have the option to opt your child(ren) out of the screening process. The health room will be able to take a written or verbal decision; however, there is a form that needs to be filled out and signed by a physician as well. Contact Katie Kintzle, MPS District Head Nurse, at kakintzle@mpsomaha.org with questions.

Thanks, 

Mrs. Stephanie Schrader, Wheeler CNA

We use our School Improvement Team to gather diverse perspectives. The Wheeler School Improvement Team meets four times a year after school, and we are looking for parent volunteers who would be interested in serving on our team.  

The goal of the School Improvement Team is to gather diverse feedback on site-based decisions, including the Wheeler Site Plan. No level of expertise is required, just a willingness to share your time and perspectives. Your opinions count; this is a great way to use your perspective to better our school community. 

We will meet four times this year on the following Tuesdays in the Wheeler Library:

September 15th (6:00 - combo with PTA Meeting)

November 17th (6:00  - combo with PTA Meeting)

February 9th (3:45-5:15 - Phase 3 Visit with Millard District Admin)

April 20th (6:00  - combo with PTA Meeting)
