If you have a change in plans that you need to notify your child of regarding end-of-the-day bus/pick-up, please call the office before 3:30 p.m. This allows us time to relay messages and prepare a smooth transition to the end-of-the-day procedures. 

Parents, please call the office for any changes in your child's bussing situation. You may not write notes for the bus drivers to follow. For bus drivers to make a change they have to receive a note from the office staff so they know that this has been approved by parents or guardians.

Michigan State law requires a school to schedule five fire drills, two tornado drills, and three school safety/security drills (e.g., lockdown, shelter in place, etc.). These drills will occur throughout the school year. We will be having drills starting this week. Please discuss with your child the importance of following all safety procedures and protocols as we participate in these very important drills.  We practiced a fire drill and tornado drill this week at Wilson. 

Here is the link to our Wilson Wildcat Gear!! This will be open all year, so feel free to order whenever you'd like. You don't need to order anything; this is only if you are interested in some gear! We wear it throughout the year. A portion of the proceeds is donated to Wilson PAC to help support events throughout the school year.  The new Wilson Wildcat Logo has been added as an option if you are interested in upgrading to the new logo. The color shirts are grade-level shirts that we wear throughout the year at assemblies and special dress-up weeks. Purple-kindergarten, blue-1st grade, green-2nd grade, yellow-3rd grade, orange-4th, red-5th
