School Tours and Informational Events

Wedgwood’s Annual Open House w/Guided Tours - January 30th

Wedgwood Elementary will host an annual Open House on Tuesday, January 30th from 6:00-7:30 pm in the school cafeteria. At this event, the Principal and the PTA President will give an informative presentation about the school and academic programs and there will be a Q&A session with the Principal and PTA representatives.

Guided tours are also provided at this event where new families can learn more about the school and ask additional questions from a PTA parent tour guide. We also work hard to have representatives for different before/after school child care providers present to be available to answer questions (depending on their availability).

Wedgwood’s Annual Parent Informational Events

Wedgwood Curriculum Night
This is a whole-school event (typically scheduled in September) focused on Wedgwood’s academic programs and initiatives for the current school year. This includes a presentation by your child’s teacher, whole-school staff introductions and presentation by the Principal, and a Q&A session with the Principal and PTA. We typically also hold our first PTA General Membership meeting of the year on this night as well.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences (which are typically scheduled in mid to late November) are an opportunity for parents to meet with their child’s teacher to receive specific information about their child and their progress. Teachers will review core academic performance, student study skills, social-emotional learning, and to set goals and answer questions.

Additionally, teachers will regularly send our classroom newsletters or e-mails, and are also happy to address questions or concerns about your child through email or by setting up a pre-arranged appointment before or after school.
