Wilson Middle School received a "Meets Expectations" rating from the DPI for last school year, with a overall score of 67. We have much to celebrate from this rating, specifically that our students demonstrated excellent academic growth from their previous year. We also use this report to identify goals for our current school year, specifically around student achievement in key academic areas. Our 22-23 school action plan is focused on driving that achievement upward by focusing on developing vocabulary skills across all classes at Wilson. One area where we saw an unexpected decline was attendance, with an increase in both habitual truancy (students who miss more that 10% of the school year, or over 18 total days), and daily absences. The good news is we can move the needle on attendance back in a positive direction with your help! For a more detailed discussion of our report card, join our parent engagement meeting on Dec. 8.

Due to a schedule conflict, our next Parent Engagement Meeting will be Thursday, Dec. 8 at our regular 6:00pm time. We will address two important topics: meeting our new Associate Principal and exploring our State Report Card for 2021-22. We hope to see you there!

Thank you for all of your help and support of our teachers during conferences! The food was delicious. Dishes can be picked up from the office when it is convenient for you.

Hello Wilson Staff, Students & Families!

My name is Kari Groeneveld (You can call me Mrs. GV) and I am so excited to be your new Associate Principal! This is my 12th year in education. I have spent time as a classroom teacher, an interventionist and Dean of Students. I have a husband, Joel and son, Geno. We love family time outside and going on an adventure for a good slice of pizza and ice cream!

I am looking forward to meeting all of you and so fortunate to be a part of the Wilson Team!

If your child needs to take medication at school, either over the counter or prescription, we need a medication consent form filled out. Medication must be dropped off in the office in the original packaging along with the consent form. The consent form is below, located on the MPSD website, or contact the office for a copy. Thank you!

The screened orders have been completed, and there are a few more embroidering orders that still need to be finished. Items should be delivered to Wilson the week after Thanksgiving! We will send out a message when orders have arrived.

Sign up are in the main office for Swim (6th-8th grades) and Girls Basketball (7th/8th grade). Make sure your paperwork is completed and turned in!
