Students, parents, and caregivers, we are so excited to begin second semester with you!

We welcomed 7 "new to NISD" students this month, and our Wildcat community is excited for them to dive in to life at Wilson! Overall, we currently have 959 students, with about 800 on campus every day and many learning from home.

Whether in person or remote, there is a place for every Wilson student to shine! Student showcases in this newsletter include photographers, writers, and basketball players (see schedule below for game times). We will continue to encourage students to develop their character with our ACE awards and service projects, to be lifelong learners through our academics, and to showcase their talents through collaboration and performances. Thank you for continuing to support our students in all areas!

Sincerely,

Natalie Childress, Principal

This call will occur on Fridays and will summarize student absences for the week, including the number of days the student has at least one absence for that week. Please log in to the Home Access Center to view details regarding your child’s attendance.

All COVID related absences are reported through the district website at this link.
Other absence notes can be dropped off at our attendance office or emailed to rebekah.chambers@nisdtx.org.
