SNAPSHOTS OF THE WEEK!! : This week at Wilson School we enjoyed the AHS athletes coming to read and then students had time to shoot baskets with the AHS STARS. The students loved it!

Emergency Drills

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.
