On September 16, we will celebrate our first Texas Standard Day! The Conroe ISD theme for the day is Walking into the Future: Your Future, Your Legacy. We will embrace the Wilkerson theme for the 2026-2027 school year, Oh, The Places You'll Go! Our quote for the day is, "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."

We ask that students show their Texas Standard spirit by wearing a crazy hat (brains in your head) and crazy socks (feet in your shoes).

In addition to Texas Standard Day, it is also Read for a Better Life. We will welcome College Park High School students on campus to read to our students. We have asked that the students share with our students the importance of respect and responsibility as they have moved into high school and how it has impacted their success in the classroom and in their extracurricular activities.

Wilkerson Intermediate Families,

We are excited about our upcoming Texas Standard and Read for a better life Day on Wednesday, September 16. It is always fun to welcome our former Wildcats back to campus to read to our students. They come dressed in their organization's uniform which allows our students to see some of the many ways they can get involved and find their place when they get to high school. It is a great day for our students complete with a drumline to wake everyone up and get us in the spirit.

Be sure to remind your child to wear a crazy hat (to protect the brains in their head) and crazy socks (to help keep the feet in their shoes) moving in the right direction.

Open House

We had to cancel our Open House that was scheduled for September 1 due to pending bad weather. Our teachers will be creating informative videos that will be sent out via email to families in their learning communities. It will take a little time for the teachers to create the videos. LC information videos will be sent to families on Friday, September 25. Of course, you are welcome to request a parent conference via your child's Learning Community newsletter.

September is Suicide Awareness Month, an important time to reflect on how we can support the well-being and mental health of our students. This age group brings many emotional and social changes, making strong connections at home and school especially vital.

At this time our trained school counselors will be lightly addressing these topics via school announcements with our 5th and 6th graders in an age-appropriate way. Our discussion will focus on:

• Checking in on feelings: Encouraging students to recognize, process, and express their emotions in healthy ways.

• Asking for assistance: Reminding students that it is always okay to ask for help and teaching them how to report concerns to a trusted adult when they or a friend need support.

• Building inclusion and friendship: Learning how to be a supportive friend, noticing when someone feels left out, and actively practicing inclusion.

We encourage you to continue these conversations at home. Asking your child how they are doing, listening without judgment, and keeping open lines of communication can make a meaningful difference.

If you ever feel your child is struggling or if you have any questions about the resources available at school, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counseling team.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe, supported, and connected.

Did you know that you need two credits of the same world language to graduate from high school? The Ninth Grade and Senior Campuses offer beginning-level courses in Chinese, French, and German, allowing students to complete this two-year requirement.

This means you have options! You are not limited to choosing Spanish in 8th grade. If you’re interested in exploring a different language, you can wait until high school to begin your world language journey and choose the language that interests you most.
