Announcements & Reminders

Students will bring mid-quarter reports this day. Please remember, this is only a snapshot of what was in the gradebook on Thursday, Sept. 19. As expected, missing assignments negatively affect grades. Fortunately, this is only a grade check and missing work can still be submitted for full credit. You and your child can check current grades at any time in Canvas. If an assignment shows a zero or a dash, then that assignment is missing. If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email us.

Our annual color run is coming up! Please donate to the cause here. More information regarding this event will be sent home in the coming weeks. You can also keep up to date by following the Wilson's Creek PTA on Facebook.
