Dear Wonderful Wilmot Parents,
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year at Wilmot! I hope you and your family are having a wonderful and restful summer break. We are thrilled to welcome both returning and new families to our school community!
Throughout the school year, you can expect to receive both a phone call and an email with a link to this online newsletter each Sunday at 4:00 pm. These are our primary means of communicating important school events and enrichment opportunities, as well as happenings around Evergreen. Classroom specific information will be communicated through emails or folder notes from your child’s teacher. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is key to an engaging and successful educational experience. We encourage open communication and invite you to be an active part of our school community. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, concerns, or ideas.
Our beginning of year events start this Thursday with a New to Wilmot parent meeting. We’ll share information about the logistics of breakfast, drop-off, and pick-up, and school traditions like Bandana Day, as well as answer your questions. Representatives of our amazing PTA will also be on hand to share how they make a difference in our school community and how you can get involved. Joining PTA is a great way to meet other families and help our school!
On Tuesday, August 13th please join us for a sweet treat at the Open House & Ice Cream Social from 3:30-5:30. This is the official kick-off to the 2024-25 school year. It's a great opportunity to meet or reconnect with friends and classmates, meet your child’s new teacher, and drop off school supplies. You can also learn about enrichment opportunities and childcare options from a variety of organizations. Please note that due to a required training for our preschool staff, the preschool Open House is limited to 4:30-5:30. We look forward to seeing you!
Thank you for your partnership. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Join us for our annual Ice Cream Social THIS Tuesday, August 13th. Families can gather on the front lawn to enjoy an ice cream with friends, meet new people and say hello to our Wilmot staff. We roughly suggest the timeframes below for our kindergarten through 5th grade families, but feel free to come anytime within the window that works best for your family. Preschool families should not arrive before 4:30. Preschool teachers will be at a training down the hill until that time. At this time, teacher assignments will be handed out so you can meet your child's teacher, drop off school supplies, and check out their new classroom. In addition, office staff will be available to accept fee payments and answer any logistical questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you!

It's hard to say goodbye! Share in the excitement of a new school year and maybe shed a tear after dropping off your new kindergartner in class. Our amazing Wilmot PTA would like to invite families to join us in the community garden after drop-off on the first day of school for coffee, pastries, and a chance to meet with other Wilmot parents as we begin the 24-25 school year.

We look forward to introducing our 24-25 staff members, going over the logistics for our new school year, and discussing operational information with families at Back to School Night. We will start in the cafeteria. After a quick presentation, families will move into classrooms where they will hear from their new teachers and discuss volunteer opportunities. We will also have tables at the entrance with club, activity, and after care information for students who are interested.
Please see the 24-25 School Supply List below. School supplies can be dropped off during the Ice Cream Social when kiddos make their way to their 24-25 classrooms.
