All students are safe and campus has avoided all significant damage. We plan to continue the school day as normal. Thank you to the Wheaton SD community for allowing us to have the storm shelter to ensure our students' safety.

Wheaton Elementary hosted NED’s Kindness Adventure! The performance inspired our students to be kind-hearted and caring through storytelling, music and an interactive video of NED’s trip to Kenya. We are having a Kindness Sale. A portion of each purchase goes toward clean water for kids in Kenya. Items are $8-15 and can be purchased at the front office anytime between now and May 2.

🎉 Celebrating Excellence! A huge congratulations to Elementary Principal Kayla Haynes and Nurse Bonnie Bellon for receiving a $500 grant today from Soroptimist International of Barry County, Missouri! 💙 Their dedication to our students’ success and well-being continues to inspire us every day. This grant will be added to Wheaton's Care to Learn Account, going toward a new vision screener for the school district. New vision screeners offer several benefits to students, primarily by facilitating early detection of vision problems, which can positively impact academic performance and overall well-being. These screeners are often more accurate and efficient than traditional methods, potentially identifying issues that might otherwise be missed. Early intervention can prevent or minimize the negative effects of vision problems on learning, social development, and quality of life. Thank you, Soroptimist, for supporting our school community! 🙌✨

Thank you to all of our administrative assistants!

Parents/Guardian(s), Wheaton Elementary School begins MAP testing for grades 3-6 tomorrow, April 15th! Today we celebrated those students with a MAP parade! Check out some pictures of our little Bulldogs supporting the older ones and the sweet treat provided for our MAP testing students! As a reminder- MAP testing begins at 8:30am. The following tips will help support your student during testing: Encourage your student to get a good night's sleep on testing days. A well-rested mind is better able to concentrate and retain information. Provide an encouraging environment at home and remind your student that they are capable of doing their best. Arrive at school early to eat breakfast. Rushing on testing days can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety. Here's the MAP Testing Schedule: 3rd Grade ELA: April 15, April 16 Math: April 17, April 23 4th Grade ELA: April 15, April 16, April 17 Math: April 23, April 24 5th Grade Science: April 15 ELA: April 16, April 17 Math: April 23, April 24 6th Grade ELA: April 16, April 24 Math: April 17, April 23
