Wilkerson Intermediate Families,

Thank you for showing our amazing staff your appreciation last week. A special shout out to our PTO for the treats each day. They were enjoyed by all.

The next two weeks are full! There are day-time events and evening events almost every day. We are excited to hear student performances, see student artwork, celebrate our students' successes, and have fun. Please be sure to check out the "This Week" section for this week's activities and events.

The Next 10 Days

May is a busy month. We have MAP testing; Choir, Band, and Orchestra concerts; our Art show; and other activites and events happening over the next 15 days. Our hope is that students make memories that will last a lifetime.

Expectations for student behavior remain the same as they have been all year. We will continue to hold students accountable to meeting the Wilkerson expectations. As stated in the newsletter for several weeks, students who do not meet our expectations may be removed from part or all of our end-of-year activities.

End of the Year Bash Wish List

Keeping Youth Safe Online Talk:

Talk with your child about internet safety and potential risks. Regular conversations can help you know what your child is doing and what apps they use.

Talk with your child calmly, as anger may cause your child to become defensive and less likely to share information with you.

Talk with your child about what the rules and consequences are when it comes to using devices and being online.

Dress Code Accountability

We are having challenges with student dress code. Our particular areas of concern are length of shorts/skirts and tops that do not meet dress code standards. In addition, our school rule is that there are no hats or hoods worn in common areas. The dress code information below comes directly from the Conroe ISD Elementary and Intermediate Student Handbook.

We believe that there is a standard of dress that should be maintained in an academic setting. Just like adults have dress expectations for their workplace, Conroe ISD has expectations for the learning environment. Therefore, students who are out of dress code will be sent to the front office to call home for a change of clothes. If the student continues to wear clothing that does not align with the CISD dress code, they will receive lunch detention. Repeated incidents could result in a referral with disciplinary consequences.

Assessment Explanation

MAP tests are adaptive assessments that indicate a student's strengths and areas for improvement in the content tested. The ELA MAP test takes place of the BAS assessments. The MAP tests will provide individual student information that will allow teachers to tailor instruction to meet the academic needs of the student.

Quarterly Assessments (QAs) :These assessments are given within the last two weeks of the grading period and contain only previously taught content as defined by the district curriculum maps. They are provided by the district before the beginning of the quarter so that teachers can plan instruction, and are designed to be completed in a single 50-minute class period.

Common Assessments (CA) are assessments that measure the student's understanding of the content (TEKS) taught in class. Teachers are able to take the data from the assessments and determine where students are successful and where they have misconceptions. Teachers will use this data to guide instruction going forward.

Vaccines Required for 7th Grade

Please see the message from the Texas Department of State Health Services regarding back-to-school immunizations required for 7th grade.
