Wilson Focus Facts 2023

Dear Wilson Focus Families and Friends,

LEARNING ... THE GREATEST ADVENTURE FOR ALL! (our school wide theme)

Our first quarter adventure has come to an end, and we have begun our second quarter journey as we head into the fall season. We want to extend our gratitude and thankfulness for our staff, students, families and the community as we work together on this trek to help our students reach the heights of success. We all share this common goal.

Report cards were sent home on Friday, October 13th, so please take time to have conversations with your student about their goals for next quarter and their school year. We firmly believe that every student will grow with our partnership between home and school.

Conferences will be held on Wednesday, October 25th from 4:00-7:00 pm and on Thursday, October 26th from 12:00-7:00 pm. If you have not signed up yet, please see the conference sign up section below and make your appointment.

We are so thankful to share in the joy of your child's learning adventure!

Feel free to reach out to me at any time, Luann.jacobs@ops.org or (531) 299-2260.

Mrs. Jacobs

Arrival: It is important to not arrive until after 7:35 a.m. If you are here before 7:35a.m. please keep your child in the car or stand outside with them to supervise.

Pick Up: If you are picking up your child after school please remember to be here by 3:35.

Tardy and Early Release: Unless for a medical appointment, students who come late or are picked up early, the time is counted as unexcused and adds to their total absences. When a student comes into the classroom late or leaves early it interrupts not only their learning but the learning of the entire class.

Buses: If your child normally rides the bus home and you want to pick them up at 3:30 pm or 4:30 pm on Enrichment days, it is critical that you call the office by 3:00 p.m. for us to make the switch from bus to parent pick up. Students will be placed on the bus unless we have a parent phone call. This is for the safety of your child.

Attendance: It is important for students to show up each day on time for their school journey and so we can work together to GROW your child's academic knowledge. It is parent responsibility to contact the school to report absences by calling (531) 299-2260. Provide doctors notes for excused absences.

Parent Pride meets throughout the year to plan activities that support our school. Meetings are held the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Mark your calendars and join the group for these upcoming adventures!

There are many opportunities to volunteer and/or donate items for special events.
