Wildcat Weekly

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break.

December is a busy month! We have fall picture retakes (12/3); the PTO Dominos Fundraiser, performances by our Band, Orchestra, and Choir; quarterly assessments; and Wilkerson Winter Wonderland.

The PTO will need many volunteers for the Wilkerson Wonderland event on December 19. Please consider volunteering. It is going to be a fun day for our students.

Theme Thursday: Favorite Holiday Shirt

Dear Wildcat Families,

The end of the first semester is right around the corner!

Our PTO is busy fundraising and organizing school events.

We are excited to announce that today we are starting the Slice the Price Domino’s Pizza Fundraiser! The money raised will go toward purchasing additional Chrome Carts. It’s so easy: you buy a $20 card, and every time you order a large pizza, you get one for free!

Here is a video that explains everything you need to know about the program!

We miss the students when they are not here!

Our current attendance rate is: around 96.0%. It is important that your child is in class each day unless they are ill. Please be sure to call the school or email teachers if they will be absent. Students are responsible for completing missed assignments.
