5th Grade Open House
2020-2021 School Year
Meet the Teacher
My name is Ms. Wiley and this is my tenth
year teaching 5th grade at Willard! I grew
up in Norfolk and graduated from Old
Dominion University. I love to read, go for
walks, travel, decorate and spend time with
my family and friends. I am looking
forward to great school year!

Our schedule is designed to be as

possible. Students will have live whole
group and small group instruction and
opportunities for independent
practice. Time will also be provided for
conferences or extra help with
assignments. Students should be
engaged in learning activities
throughout the day just as they would
be in an in-person classroom.
Attendance will be taken daily and
recorded in Synergy.
