Hello Wonderful Wilmot Parents, 

Happy New Year!  It was wonderful to welcome students back to school on Thursday and hear about their adventures over winter break.  We have several important events and meetings going on this first full week back at school.  We start the week off with Den Groups on Monday morning and then on Tuesday we have PTA and Wilmot Council meetings in the evening.    

On Wednesday of this week, students will be participating in the vision and hearing screening.  It’s important to recognize what the vision and hearing screenings are and are not.  They ARE very general screenings that can alert families to a child’s difficulty with distance vision and their ability to hear certain tones.  They ARE NOT a substitute for a regular vision exam for your child because the screening will not detect any difficulties with near vision (as needed for reading), color blindness, or general eye health.  If you believe your child may need a comprehensive vision exam, but the cost is prohibitive, please contact me directly as we have access to some coupons for free or reduced cost exams, and glasses if necessary.  

Friday is the last day for round one choice enrollment through Enroll Jeffco.  If you need assistance with accessing or navigating Enroll Jeffco, please call the office and ask to speak with Ms. Carrie.  If your child/children will be returning to Wilmot next year, please take a few minutes to let us know.  Having an accurate count of next school year’s enrollment really helps us allocate our resources effectively to support students.    

Coming up on the 16th, our Wilmot Warblers choir will be singing the National Anthem at the National Western Stock Show.  It is quite an honor and will be an unforgettable experience for our kids!
