Our School Mission Statement
Our "C" of the Month: CRITICAL THINKING
This month at Wilson, we are focusing on Critical Thinking! We are encouraging students to stop, think, ask questions, and make thoughtful decisions.
Critical thinking helps students solve problems, learn from mistakes, and work through challenges both in the classroom and in everyday life.
You can support this at home by asking your child questions like, “What do you think?” “Why do you think that?” or “What could you try differently?” Together, we can help our students become confident thinkers and problem-solvers! Thank you for your help with this.
Spirit Fridays and School Store Link

Halloween @ Wilson Elementary
🎃 Halloween Costumes / Disfraces de Halloween
Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school in the morning on Friday, October 30th. However, masks may not be worn during the school day.
- Students may wear their masks ONLY during the parade, but not during class time.
- No weapons (even if they are part of a costume) are allowed at any time.
Our Halloween Parade will begin at 2:25 PM inside the building. We will walk through the school, picking up each class along the way. The parade will then exit (around 2:35 PM) through the northwest doors and continue through the common area by the North Playground.
Parents are invited to join us outside to watch the parade. We kindly ask that parents do not enter the building during the parade.
Once the parade is over, we ask that parents please wait outside for students to be dismissed at our regular school dismissal time of 3:00 PM.
Since the parade will finish so close to the end of the school day, we will not be checking students out through the office following the parade. Students will return to their classrooms and then meet families outside at 3:00 PM for regular pick-up.
Thank you for your support in helping us make this a safe and fun celebration for all!
