Welcome Letter 2023

Hello and welcome back families and friends!
 
My name is Keith Wiley and I am privileged with the task of being one of KEY Academy's exceptional 1st grade teachers! Our campus is continuing to grow, which means we will have high expectations for our incoming kids. As we get settled in we need to make sure to remember to have patience, be kind to one another, and try our hardest to make this the best year we can!
 
An important thing to revisit will be how students are getting to school. Our campus is at 585 Willow Ave. in Hayward and our streets can fill up quickly as over 650 students get dropped off and picked up. We will have teachers out to direct traffic, so please make sure to listen to the teachers and only drop off kids in the designated, appropriate locations. If you are a pedestrian, please stay in the crosswalks and on the sidewalks. 
 
There will be homework club offered to our students at no cost. This is extra time for students to finish homework and get help on questions of which they are confused. Normally students get picked up at 3:15, but if they stay for homework club, they get picked up at 4:15.
 
If you have any questions or would like to speak with me directly, feel free to email me at [email protected] or you can get my phone number from me if this works better.
 
Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all!
Mr. Keith
