Dear Wilson Families,
As we wrap up another busy month at Wilson, it has been great to see the learning happening throughout our classrooms. Students are actively engaged in lessons, collaborating with one another, and participating in more group work. Our three cycles of RTI and enrichment are also in full swing, providing students with targeted support and opportunities to extend their learning based on their individual needs. We continue to focus on academic growth, positive relationships, and creating a school community where every student feels supported and connected. In this edition, you’ll find updates, upcoming events, and important reminders from across Wilson.
Best,
Teresa Carney
Principal
A Few Important Reminders
Student Pick-Up Reminder
For the safety of all students, please remember that all student pick-up must take place along the side of the building near the gym. This applies to both end-of-day dismissal (approximately 1:45–2:15 p.m.) and after-school pick-up (3:00–4:15 p.m.).
Please use the designated pick-up area and remind your child to remain in the appropriate location while waiting for you. Students should not cross through the parking lot to meet vehicles. Following these procedures helps keep our students safe and ensures a smoother pick-up process for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep the Wilson community safe!
Reminder: Drinks at School
As a reminder, soda, energy drinks and coffee beverages, including Dunkin’ drinks, are not permitted at school. These beverages can be high in caffeine and sugar and can impact students’ focus, behavior, and ability to learn throughout the day. Please help us reinforce this expectation by ensuring students leave these drinks at home before coming to school. Water is always a great choice for staying hydrated throughout the school day. Thank you for your support and partnership!
Chromebooks: Students in all grades should bring their Chromebooks to school in their protective cases each day. Students in Grades 7 and 8 should make it a routine to charge their Chromebooks overnight so they arrive at school ready to learn. Please help your child develop this habit at home.
Being On Time & Being Here: Regular attendance and arriving to school on time are important to student success. We encourage families to make every effort to have students in school each day and on time. Of course, students should stay home when they are sick, particularly with symptoms such as a fever, vomiting, or a stomach bug. When students are healthy, however, being present and on time helps them stay connected to their teachers, classmates, and learning.
After-School Clubs & Sports
We are excited to have our after-school clubs and sports up and running! There are many great opportunities for students to get involved, try something new, spend time with friends, and build connections beyond the classroom. Please be sure to review the current club offerings here, as well as the late bus schedule. Most of our clubs are drop-in, so students can attend on the days that work for them unless otherwise noted.
A few important reminders for families: Students must have an active bus pass in order to ride a late bus. Students who remain after school must also be participating in a supervised activity and must be with an adult. Students should not be wandering the building or staying after school without adult supervision. Additionally, our school phone expectations remain in place during after-school activities. Cell phones and smart watches should not be used during clubs, sports, or other after-school activities. We have landlines available in the main office for students who need to contact a parent or caregiver, so students can always call home when needed.
