Dismissal/Bus Route 

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. In order 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.

If it is incorrect or needs to be changed then there is automated transportation request on the first page at the bottom of ParentVue.

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.
