Warhawk Wise

Warhawks & Warhawk Families,

Each year, the Manitowoc Public School District partners with the Manitowoc Police Department for the purpose of providing random K9 searches on school properties. The purpose of these searches is to support the training of the K9 units and to promote a safe learning environment for students and staff.

At approximately 8:10 a.m. today, Wilson Middle School went into a routine “HOLD” for the purpose of conducting a random K9 search of lockers. During the course of the search in the building, no drugs or illegal substances were found.

A top priority is providing our students and staff with a safe learning environment. If you have any questions, please contact me directly at (920) 663-9582.

Principal Anna Beatty

We are excited to announce that we are holding in-person Parent/Teacher Conferences from 1:00-7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 16, 2023. Each 10-minute conference needs to be pre-scheduled using Google Meets. If you are unable to make it that night, please email your students' teachers to make alternate arrangements.

The purpose of Parent/Teacher conferences is to help build relationships between parents, families, and staff, while providing an opportunity for two-way feedback. We aim to provide great communication at all times, but this is an occasion to do so a little more formally.

On Thursday, November 16, students will have an early release schedule, with classes running from 7:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Please be sure to make arrangements for their early pickup.

Teachers will be working from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for parent teacher conferences on Thursday, November 16th. We are planning a taco bar dinner for them! If you are interested in contributing please sign up by clicking here. Thank you for helping us show our teachers we appreciate them.

Before the end of October, we will conduct an unannounced LOCKDOWN on our campus. A LOCKDOWN is utilized when there is a threat or hazard inside of the school building.

It will be clear to all students, staff and visitors that this is a training/practice of a LOCKDOWN. During practice, our staff will have the opportunity to talk with students about the why, how, and answer questions from students. We will walk through the steps of a LOCKDOWN from beginning to end to grow our knowledge and deepen our understanding so we are ready should we ever need to utilize this safety measure.

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.

The PE classes will be swimming Oct 30th through Dec 22nd:

• Wetenkamp 10/30 - 11/21
• Steinbecker 11/27 - 12/22

Students need to bring their swim suit and towel to each class. Click here for more detailed information.

Check out our Winter Sports Report for all information about upcoming sports, practices, and more. Questions can be sent to Jennifer Wetenkamp at wetenkampj@mpsd.school, our Athletic Coordinator. Go Warhawks!

Harmann Studios mistakenly sent out some duplicate picture orders. Their production team mixed up Wilson-Appleton and Wilson-Manitowoc. We have been assured no one will be double charged and you can keep the extra pictures. Orders placed after Aug 23rd will be processed and shipped soon.
