Wilson's Creek Intermediate - 6th Grade

Dear Parents,

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It has been enjoyable to hear the stories from the students about their break. There are some notable dates approaching as we arrive to the end of second quarter. The deadline for all missing work to be turned in is December 18th. The end of quarter celebration will take place on December 20th, and students will need to have their work done to participate. If your student would benefit from going to homework club next week, it is available Monday-Wednesday after school until 3:30. Let us know if you would like us to sign your child up for a specific date. Please continue reading for announcements from student council and other school information.

Kindly,

Ms. Hammon and Mrs. Box
