SNAPSHOTS OF THE WEEK!! : This week we celebrated Wilson staff, enjoyed a PAWS Assembly, had many future wildcats register for kindergarten with siblings, and Ms. Knoodle's class invited parents in to share their published books. Students also enjoyed flashlight reading that they earned from AR points. On Friday, I was able to get to the baseball fields to see many Wilson Wildcats.
A huge thank you to PAC and all the parents who helped bring in so many treats for Wilson Staff!! All the food and goodies were delicious!!

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.
Wilson Wildcat Gear
Here is the link to our Wilson Wildcat Gear!! This will remain open all year so feel free to order when you would like. There is no obligation to order this is only if you are interested in some gear! We wear it all throughout the year. A portion of the proceeds are donated to Wilson PAC to help support events throughout the school year.
Assessment Window
M-STEP Testing is complete and now we are heading into the end-of-the-year assessments. There is a variety of assessments that will be completed by all students.
Here are a few simple things that can help students do their best include:
Getting good sleep (and rest)
Eating healthy breakfasts (since testing is usually done first thing on testing days)
Giving encouragement (without increasing pressure some students may already feel)
Making sure students arrive to school on time
