Wilkerson Intermediate Families,

This week we will join College Park High School in dressing up for homecoming week. We modified the daily dress up themes to fit our students age and to fit within the Wilkerson theme, "Oh, the places you'll go". Therefore, our dress up days are different from the high school. We hope our students will enjoy dressing up as we celebrate and support our Cavs. The graphic with dates and themes is at the beginning of the newsletter.

Due to pending severe weather, we had to cancel our open house event last Tuesday. We will work this week to reschedule the event and will send out details when a new date has been set.

Upcoming Events

Texas Standard Day and Read for a Better Life

• Wednesday, September 16

September is Suicide Awareness Month, an important time to reflect on how we can support the well-being and mental health of our students. This age group brings many emotional and social changes, making strong connections at home and school especially vital.

At this time our trained school counselors will be lightly addressing these topics via school announcements with our 5th and 6th graders in an age-appropriate way. Our discussion will focus on:

• Checking in on feelings: Encouraging students to recognize, process, and express their emotions in healthy ways.

• Asking for assistance: Reminding students that it is always okay to ask for help and teaching them how to report concerns to a trusted adult when they or a friend need support.

• Building inclusion and friendship: Learning how to be a supportive friend, noticing when someone feels left out, and actively practicing inclusion.

We encourage you to continue these conversations at home. Asking your child how they are doing, listening without judgment, and keeping open lines of communication can make a meaningful difference.

If you ever feel your child is struggling or if you have any questions about the resources available at school, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counseling team.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe, supported, and connected.

Our goal for sharing info via the newsletter each week is to make it as relevant and concise as possible. For that reason, we will be moving many of the things we share to a permanent home on the Student and Family Resources Page on the School Website. Please visit for an archive of the newsletters and all of the calendars, schedules, and campus info we've previously shared.

Library Notifications

Conroe ISD Library Services has enabled checkout notifications, so you know the title of the books your student checked out. These notifications will be sent on days when your student checks out a book from the school library and will only be sent for the initial checkout. Daily notifications will no longer occur for the entire time a book is checked out to a student. State law and board policy do not allow an opt-out option for these notifications. If you have a question or concern about your student’s reading material, please contact your campus librarian.

The Destiny Library Catalog has been updated with the following message as per Local Policy EFB.

Library materials may include objectionable materials. If you would like to restrict access to specific library materials, please complete the Library Access Form.

Did you know that you need two credits of the same world language to graduate from high school? The Ninth Grade and Senior Campuses offer beginning-level courses in Chinese, French, and German, allowing students to complete this two-year requirement.

This means you have options! You are not limited to choosing Spanish in 8th grade. If you’re interested in exploring a different language, you can wait until high school to begin your world language journey and choose the language that interests you most.
