Mark your calendars! The next general PTO meeting is Monday, March 7, at 7 p.m. at Wickliffe. We offer three general meetings a year - these are great opportunities for parents/caregivers to come and learn more about how the PTO is working to serve our community. We are excited to see you there! An agenda will be sent out in the upcoming weeks!

Shhh... it's a secret...
Marvin, our beloved custodian that all students know and love, is retiring before the end of the school year. Marvin does not want to be recognized; however, we can not let the opportunity go to celebrate him in some way. Marvin has loved and helped take care of our children for many, many years. Please help us honor Marvin by creating cards or pictures with your children for Marvin and drop them off in the office. The PTO will collect all cards/pictures and gift them to Marvin before his last day. The PTO is also purchasing a gift card for Marvin; if you would like to contribute to this gift card, you can leave cash or a check written to the Wickliffe PTO at the front desk with Teresa. Alternatively, you can VEMO @dawn-hofherr with the subject "Marvin."

The deadline for participating is Wednesday, March 9!

Thanks in advance for helping us celebrate Marvin!

The Wickliffe PTO is always looking for ways to support the families in our school community.

In the past, the Wolf Den was created for families who found themselves needing a little extra support for basic necessities (food, clothing, etc). We have gift cards available and want to honor the privacy of any family seeking this support. Ms. Evans will be the point of contact to receive a gift card and she will distribute them as well. To utilize the Wolf Den support please email her at alevans@uaschools.org

Food for Thought:

Staying on top of the current research regarding screen time can be challenging at best. There is a plethora of information to be read and some can even seem contradicting. Common Sense Media is a source that I use to guide my understanding.

Here are two resources from them (an article and a fact sheet) that present two sides of the same coin – social media harms for our youth and how not to demonize the use of screens during the pandemic.

I think it is important to recognize that screens are here to stay and in some ways have been a lifeline, especially during this pandemic, to learning and staying connected. AND there are inherent risks in social media which we must acknowledge and use to provide guidance for our children.

As always, I hope this information is helpful for you. Together, as a family and school, we can support these children as they learn to safely navigate the use of screens and the content they will encounter.

If there is any topic that you would like me to explore, please reach out to me at fkassoy@uaschools.org.
