Wilson Hill/Worthington Park/Slate Hill Cub Scout Pack 632
The foundation of Scouting is built on providing hands-on, interactive activities that lead a child down the path of character and leadership development. Our dedicated parent volunteers work with Scouts to help them get most of the program. We work on a host of skills, adventures and fun activities to help the scouts earn their loops and advance through the ranks! We have at least two scheduled campouts and the famous pinewood derby!
We offer the Scouting Program for BOYS and GIRLS in grades K-5 and we pride ourselves in being a family-friendly Pack. Are you or your child interested in learning more? Come to our Sign Up Night on August 22, 2024 at 7 PM in the Wilson Hill cafeteria (enter through Door 12) or go to www.pack632.com

Welcome! The mission of the Wilson Hill PTO is to strengthen, enhance & encourage the educational and social environment of Wilson Hill Elementary. Our goal is to complement the school curriculum with additional opportunities for families, teachers and students to learn, socialize, communicate & grow.
School Lunch and Free/Reduced Applications
The USDA had school food services return to pre-pandemic operations last year.
Worthington Schools has eligibility-based pricing of meals (Free/Reduced/Paid).
All Worthington School families are required to complete the online Free/Reduced Lunch Eligibility Form. All students use their Lunch ID for meals. The student's number can be found in the Parent Portal. Select the Student ID tab and look for your Lunch PIN.
Families can add money to their lunch account through My Payments Plus. You can also use MPP to track your student's account and see much money remains on it. My Payments Plus is also used to pay other fees, like high school parking permits and AP testing fees.

Calling all Grandparents!
Calling All Grandparents! Circle of Grandparents (COG) is a character education program that operates in the Worthington School District, having been established in the year 2000. With the support of Worthington Schools and the nonprofit Partners for Community and Character, senior volunteers use community-chosen qualities to teach students the importance of good character. We’re looking for volunteers! Our goal is to have a grandparent in each Worthington School elementary classroom. As a “Grandparent”, you can draw from your own life experiences and individual talents to teach concepts of character to your “adopted” class. No classroom or teaching experience is required, COG will provide support and materials to you through monthly, optional meetings. You do not have to be an actual grandparent to participate, however, if you are a grandparent to a child in the Worthington Schools, you may request your grandchild’s class. Any “Grandparent” has the option to choose the school and grade level they wish to assist. This is a wonderful opportunity that benefits all who are involved. Interested in learning more?
