Do you have a little that is ready to start Pre-K next year? If so, we would LOVE to have them at Wheelock! We will host our Pre-K registration kickoff on April 4th from 8-9a and 5:30-6:30p.

Tomorrow is Pickle and Popcorn Day! Students may bring money to purchase items for $1 each.

Parents of third, fourth, and fifth graders, do you want to help your student strive for their goals on the upcoming STAAR test, but want more information on how to do so? If you answered yes, come join us for STAAR Parent Night! See the flyer sent home for more information.

Today is National Ag Day! Today we take time to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture.

Congratulations to our newest Complex Community FCU Shout Out winner, Mrs. Scott! She goes above and beyond for her students each day and she brings so much excitement and joy to Wheelock! Congratulations, Mrs. Scott!

Tomorrow is class picture day! Please send students ready for pictures first thing in the morning.

Before Spring Break, 5th grade learned about the importance of Ellis Island in United States history. They listened to interviews and accounts from citizens who made the journey to America in the 1920’s- one of whom came with a piece of soda bread in her pocket, and recalled trying Pizza for the first time! They then recreated the experience in their classroom and tried Irish Soda Bread for the first time! Then, they took a trip to Texas Tech’s International Cultural Center for a recreated Ellis Island Experience. Every student learned about a home country, was assigned a role in a family, received a passport, and went through all the steps of the journey to America.

It's time to help save our Earth! We will be collecting USED, plastic bags for the H-E-B Earth Day Recycling contest. Last year we placed third, so our goal is to WIN this year!!! Send in your used grocery bags March 18th through March 28th.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is National Children's Craft Day. Take some time to make some fun crafts!

We hope that everyone has a safe and fun spring break! We'll see everyone back in class on March 18! #WeAreLubbockISD

It's time to spring forward! Daylight savings begins today!

We hope that all of our Plainsmen and their families have a wonderful, safe Spring Break! We will see you back on March 18th!

Today is International Women's Day! Let's celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women across the world.

We will practice our emergency preparedness tomorrow with a fire drill. Do you and your family have a plan if a fire should start at your home?

We can't wait to see our students dressed in their future profession tomorrow for the Career Fair!
