Student Council Sock Drive
Wheeler Sock Drive
Our Wheeler Sock Drive has begun! Students can donate new, clean socks (white preferred) of any size between now and February 9th to benefit local Omaha shelters. If you and your family are able to help, our Student Council would appreciate it!
In Your Backpack
Don't forget to pack these daily needs!
Students should continue to always have a water bottle and snack or two packed in their backpack each day. Water and a nutritious snack fuel the brain and keep students going as they learn and grow!

Class Link Log In Instructions
Our technology has had a major change from My Portal to Class Link. This new app will be a landing spot for all student apps. You can watch our teacher librarian, Mrs. Derichs, show you how to access Class Link from home in the video attached.
Winter Weather Wear
Students need to bring jackets and coats for cooler weather.
We use the "feels like" temperature to make our official recess decision during the cold months. If lunch recess feels like 10 degrees and up, we will go outside. If it feels like 9 and below, we will have indoor recess.
Students must have snow boots to walk in the snow. They must have snow pants if they wish to play in the snow.
Please see the winter weather wear guidelines linked HERE for further details.
Wheeler Book Club
Our 4th and 5th Grade Book Club has started! Come join us in the library at 7:45 a.m. each Friday to talk books and participate in fun activities with other amazing readers. See you there!
