Mrs. Fritz's message

Dear Wonderful Wilmot Parents,

I hope you are enjoying a great weekend. I want to start with a celebration of the Young Writers Conference last Thursday. Thank you to Mrs. Manley for her leadership in planning the YWC every year and to the parents and staff who volunteered their time to make this great event possible. If you didn’t get a chance to attend this year, I highly recommend you sign up next year!

This week is going to be lots of fun! We are having a spirit week leading up to the spring dance and silent auction on Friday. You can see the daily themes if you scroll down in the Weekly. A huge thank you to our PTA volunteers for planning the spring dance and several other fun, community building events throughout the year!

As I shared last week, beginning on Monday, April 7th, our 3rd through 5th graders will be taking the state standardized tests, the Colorado Measures of Academic Success. Please consider stopping in to write notes of encouragement to your child and their class. Butcher paper and markers will be available outside of your child’s classroom from 7:20-8:00 and from 2:35-3:00 on Thursday, April 3rd and Friday, April 4th. Please help your child do their best by ensuring they get plenty of rest and have a good breakfast each day. We also ask parents to avoid absences except for illness during the three week testing period from Monday, April 7th through Thursday, April 24th.

Lastly, it is that time of year when we begin to think about planning for next school year. Each spring we engage in a very deliberate and thoughtful process involving the classroom teachers, special education providers (if applicable), the AMPs team, paraprofessionals, and administrators when making class lists. The team considers each student individually and the dynamic of the classroom, with a goal of creating a balance of strengths and areas for growth across the classroom community. Parents are a valuable source of information in this process. We’ve created this form so you can provide information about how your child learns best. Please note that this is not intended to be a teacher request form, however, you can request that your child be placed with or separated from one other student. Please understand that while we do our best to honor those requests, we cannot guarantee it because there are so many factors that go into making class lists. Responses will be accepted through Friday, April 11, 2025.

Thank you for being a part of the Wilmot Wildcats family! I look forward to seeing you at school this week.

Student Information for 2025-26

New project!

Evergreen Parks and Rec is collaborating with Jeffco Open Space to change the fields behind Wilmot. Work on the parking lot is scheduled to begin on Monday 3/10. During this initial phase, they will be:

Removing roughly 20’ of chain-link fencing between the parking lot and current dirt road.
Installing temporary curb ramps to help accommodate for two way traffic over the current sidewalk/parking lot curb until a more permanent solution is established.
Expanding the width of the dirt road to allow for two way traffic.
Creating and establishing an entrance/exit to the new parking area.
Installing a median and signage within the parking area to establish a flow of traffic.

Once this work is complete, they will let us know next steps, including when the parking area will be ready for us to use.

Hello Wonderful Wilmot Families,

I am looking for some stage crew support during my upcoming performances. This would include: setting up the stage during/after school, tuning instruments, sound check, lights, videographer and student supervision backstage. If you are able to help out, please fill out this form and let me know when and what you are able to do. I am also specifically looking for any drummers who can help me set up/fix my electric drum kits for the show. Please email me abby.lantz@jeffco.k12.co.us if you are a drummer who can help!
