Principal's Welcome
On behalf of the staff at Wye Elementary, I would like to welcome all of our families to the 2009-2010 school year! We hope that our website is a helpful tool in learning about our school. We are rich in tradition and high academic excellence and our school has a strong sense of parent and community involvement.
Our staff continues to work diligently to provide quality programs for all of our students. They are dedicated to improving the delivery of instruction by being informed and in-serviced on new curriculum, technology and teaching practices.
As always, we welcome questions and comments, please feel free to contact us anytime.
Warm regards,

Jumping Passed the National Average
During the week of February 8th - 11th 2010, the students at Wye School were busy skipping to keep their hearts healthy. Our school launched Jump Rope for Heart Week with a kick-off assembly, where Grade 5 and 6 students demonstrated some amazing jump rope tricks that the students of Wye School would have the chance to learn throughout the week. While participating in Jump Rope for Heart, students were getting physically fit and were learning important heart healthy tips. As part of Jump Rope for Heart, students were asked to raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The funds raised help to eliminate heart disease and stroke. Thanks to the generous donations, Wye School was able to raise $11 851.44, which is two and half times more than the National average! We would like to thank Mrs. Kropp and Ms. Pasma for organizing this event.
HOJA
The students and staff had an opportunity to see the acappella group HOJA perform. It was an excellent performance. During the school presentation HOJA had both students and staff participating. We would like to thank Parent Council for arranging this event. For pictures of the performance check out the photo gallery.
