Parents/Guardians please be on the look-out because students will have homework with SFA. Students are expected to read 20 minutes everyday. 4 days of the week they are expected to fill out a response sheet. They read and then write a summary of what is happening in their book. A parent must then sign the response form verifying the student has read. Students may have time to read during Intervention/Enrichment if they are not needed by a teacher. Their IE teacher may also sign their response form.

We recently have had numerous fast food deliveries to the Wilson office for students. This causes a disruption in our cafeteria and potentially classrooms following lunch. We ask that if a parent/guardian wants to have a special lunch for their student, please call the office and notify us in advance to make arrangements. We want to arrange an alternative location for your student to avoid disruptions at Wilson. Thank you!

If your student missed picture day in August, retake day is Friday, September 29 during school. If you want your student to have a picture retaken, please go to this Harmann link.

In order to ensure the learning at Jackson Elementary is not interrupted, we are asking our Wilson students to refrain from going over to Jackson School. That said, we do understand that some of our students pick up younger siblings from school at Jackson. If this is the case, they are welcome to continue this practice; we would just ask that they wait quietly. If a friend walks with your child to pick up a younger sibling at Jackson, it is expected that the friend stay on the sidewalk. Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Manitowoc Public School District (MPSD) is committed to providing a safe environment for students, staff and visitors. The MPSD District Safety Team (DST), as well as each building safety team, work to enhance school safety and crisis preparedness practices. Please see the MPSD Visitor Protocol here.

Our staff at Wilson prioritize connecting with our students’ families and the community. Our goal is to expand Wilson Middle School beyond its walls by building relationships that actively engage parents in our mission of student growth. In the past we held monthly Parent Engagement Meetings. Prior to scheduling our meetings this year, we are seeking input from our Wilson families in order to best meet your needs. Please take the linked survey by September 30th. https://forms.gle/PBF9KYfKiWWaKczT8

School safety is critical to high quality learning and the Manitowoc Public School District utilizes the K12 Standard Response Protocol (SRP/SRM) to provide a consistent safety response at all schools. The SRP provides five safety response protocols. Those five responses are SECURE - LOCKDOWN - EVACUATE - SHELTER - HOLD. The SRP provides for a standard response that is shared and trained with students, staff, visitors and with our first responders from the Fire and Police Departments.

“A uniform, planned, and practiced response to any incident is the foundation of a safe school. The SRP is action-based, flexible, and easy to learn. It rationally organizes tactics for response to weather events, fires, accidents, intruders and other threats to student safety.” iloveuguys.org

Each month throughout the school year, all Manitowoc Public Schools will train on one of the five responses. The training is designed to create knowledge, answer questions, and build familiarity for all students, staff and visitors. Please take time each month to ask your child what safety response protocol they practiced and see if they have questions or ideas about how these safety steps work and how they could be used in other places beyond school. The SRP can be utilized in many places for more information please see iloveuguys.org.

During the month of September, we are practicing the HOLD and EVACUATION procedures. During the month of October, we will practice a LOCKDOWN.

Should you have questions you can reach me at 920-663-9582.

Thank you
