The Wilmot Word

I want to thank all of our staff, parents and students for working together to support our E-Learning day! Mrs. Beane and I popped into classrooms and were able to observe students writing, engaging in math discussions, listening to stories and playing fun games. Everyone demonstrated grit and perseverance and we truly appreciate the support of our amazing Wilmot community. Stay safe and warm!

We have rescheduled the 4th/5th grade choir concert which was cancelled in December. We will hold the concert on Monday, January 22, 2024, at Caruso Middle School. The student call time is 5:30 pm and the concert will begin at 6:15 pm.

Building students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) skills is important in District 109. As a part of the learning process, we ask students in grades K-8 to reflect on skills related to social-emotional learning and the school environment. The winter survey will be administered to all students between January 18 and February 2, 2024, and it should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. Per policy, if you would like your child to opt out of taking the survey, please contact me and your child's teacher no later than Wednesday, January 17.

Student s in 2nd –5th grade are invited to audition for the Wilmot Talent Show. The show will be held on Friday, February 9. To learn more about the talent show click on the link below. All interested students must have a parent or guardian complete the audition form by January 12, 2024.

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is OPEN! ALL KINDERGARTEN and NEW 1ST-8TH GRADE students: Please follow the "Online Registration: Easy as 1-2-3" To register your new student please visit our registration page.

Hi Wilmot Families,

We are so excited to offer these special fun days to celebrate our Wilmot community. Thursdays will be an optional flannel day from November to March. Flannels are cozy shirts, pants, and other items that keep you warm in the winter months. Students should not feel that they need to buy anything. Instead, they can get creative with items already in their homes. Below you will find our wacky fun Wednesdays and special spirit dates.

Thank you,

Wilmot Student Council
