News from Mrs. Wilmeth
Dilley Elementary
1st Six Weeks – Week 2
This Weeks News…
 We had a great first week of school! Hope you
enjoyed the long holiday weekend!

Continue discussing rules and procedures with your
child (listening when the teacher is talking, following
directions, being kind and respectful, raising hand to
talk, etc.) Also please help your child learn how to
ties his/her shoes and practice writing his/her first and
last name daily.
 Breakfast is served beginning at 7:30 in the
classroom and ends at 7:50. If your child arrives
after that time they will not be able to eat
breakfast. Please work on getting your child to
school on time.
 Please make sure you are checking your child’s
“Take-Home” folder daily (including Fridays)
for classwork and notes. Today you should have
received a lot of information including our
monthly calendar. I try to add anything that I
know of ahead of time to the calendar so you are
aware of what is coming up. On the back of the
calendar you will also find your child’s montly
homework. Please complete homework nightly
on the homework sheets I have provided in the
folder. Thank you for helping your child learn!
 You should have also received a yellow note last week regarding
“Grandparent’s Day”. We are having a “Poppin’ Party” to
recognize our grandparents on Friday, September 5th.
Grandparents are welcome to come visit our classroom and eat
popcorn with us from 2:30-3:20. Please be sure to check in at
the office before coming to the classroom.
 Remember that you must have the color coded cards in order to pick up
any child from our campus at the end of the day. If you need extras,
you may stop by the office and they can get you some. If a card is
not presented to your child’s teacher you will be asked to check them
out at the office. This procedure is for the safety of our children.
Thank you so much for your cooperation in this matter.

Show your spirit by wearing maroon and
gray on Fridays to support our Dilley
Wolves and Pups!
