Wheeler Elementary School

It’s a big week at Wheeler! Cross Country practice and meets kick off, and all students will be taking the i-Ready Test for the very first time ever. Check out what else is happening this week in the !

Applications are now open for any Wheeler 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade student interested in joining our Library Co-Op! 📖
If your student loves books, technology, writing, broadcasting, enjoys helping others, or wants to be more involved in our school, we’d love to have them apply!

Our first of the year is here!
You'll notice that most Mondays we encourage students and staff to wear college shirts. This opens up great conversations about post-high school options, though participation is completely optional!
Otherwise, the Wheeler Rundown will bring families weekly updates and reminders about upcoming events.
