Hello Wilkerson Families!

It is hard to believe that it is already November. Before you know it the first semester will be over and winter break will be here.

While we are excited about our Thanksgiving and winter breaks and look forward to time off with family and friends, our teachers continue to deliver essential instruction and our students work hard to learn the content being taught. Student attendance during this time is very important. Please make attendance a priority.

This Week's Theme Day

Generation Texas week was moved to November 18 - 22. Our planned Thursday Theme day is a part of the themes for Generation Texas. For that reason, This week's theme day will be on Wednesday (6th Grade College and Career Day): Dress for Success (professional dress)

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.
