Dear Parent(s) and Student,

Hello and welcome back to school. I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing summer. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Julie Wilds. I am very excited to start my 10th year of teaching fifth grade at St. Stephen the Martyr. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with my degree in Elementary Education and a minor in mathematics education. My husband, Brendan, and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary this past summer. He is a behavioral psychologist for the State of Iowa at the Glenwood Resource Center in Glenwood, Iowa. We have a 4 year old son, Owen, and Liam who will turn 1 on August 24th. Owen loves playing in the water, going to the park, trains, cars, reading books, playing in the water some more, super heroes, bubbles, riding his bike, and science! Currently, Liam enjoys getting into everything, playing with his toys (and trying to play with items that don't belong to him), watching his big brother, laughing, smiling, and feeding Doozer his scraps! Doozer is our boxer-coon hound mix dog! Doozer likes to play fetch, go on walks, stay out of the boys' way (unless food is involved).

 .I can say that I truly enjoy my job. I look forward to what each new day might bring. I am committed to helping your child reach his/her full potential and to be successful academically, socially, and spiritually. I want to know how your child thinks and how you see your child as a learner and as a person.

Teaching is truly something that I put my heart into. I believe that your child deserves a teacher who is willing to give them respect and patience. In turn, I desire the same respect and cooperation from your child. I am looking forward to a great year, getting to know and learn with your child.

I will have a firm communication base with you and your family, as you are your child’s first teacher. Thank you so much for your support! At the end of each week, I will update the section of this website titled 5B WEEKLY NEWSLETTER. Please check this regularly and use it as a reference to what your child will be studying in all subject areas. It will also provide reminders as well as information regarding upcoming tests, quizzes, and projects. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me. My e-mail address is j.wilds@stephen.org.

 A new feature that I will be using this year for quick updates and/or reminders (in addition to and/or continuation of the newsletter and/or blog) is called Remind 101. To sign up to receive these messages via text, text @mswilds5b to 402-413-6476. You may opt-out of the messages at anytime by replying, unsubscribe@mrswilds5b. You can also receive the messages via email by sending an email to mrswilds5b@mail.remind.com. To unsubscribe, reply with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line.


God Bless,

Mrs. Wilds
