Cardinal Families! DCPS has launched the 2022 Panorama Survey, which measures social-emotional learning, satisfaction, and engagement across staff, families, and students. Share your perspective by completing the survey. Families will take the survey at bit.ly/dcpsfamily. Students will take the survey at surveys.panoramaed.com/dcps. A student’s access code is their DCPS student ID.

• NEW! Students, staff and visitors will no longer be required to wear a mask when outdoors at our schools, effective immediately. Masks will continue to be required for all students, staff, and visitors while indoors.
  
• NEW! There will be no district-wide limitations on audience and spectators at sporting events, arts performances, or student showcases as of today. Individual schools may continue to set limits as needed for managing any events. Masks continue to be required for indoor events.
  
• As we shared prior to the February break, we are following DC Health’s new guidance for how long an individual should isolate after they test positive. Please see below for additional information.

J.O. Wilson ES kindly invites you all to join us on Tuesday, March 8th for our virtual, General Body PTA meeting. Please register in advance for this meeting by using the link below.

Dear Cardinal Community,

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. Hosted by our staff, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our school.

After missing out on many beloved traditions, our spring Book Fair will be a familiar, welcome, and safe event for our students. Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from March 14-18, 2022. There will be opportunities for classes to visit the Book Fair during the school day as well as for families to shop after the school day.

Our Book Fair offers eWallet, a safe and secure alternative to cash. Simply create a free account to add funds and/or invite family and friends to contribute so your child can select their own books. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund a future eWallet.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair March 14-27, 2022. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/jowilsonelementaryschool1

We’re excited to celebrate our love of books together at the Book Fair. We look forward to seeing your child there!

Happy reading,

Mitchell Brunson

We will also need on-site volunteers the evening of Friday, May 13th to help the event run smoothly. Please reach out to the PTA (jowilsonpta@gmail.com) to get involved!

Cardinal Families,

Esta encuesta tiene la finalidad de escuchar sus opiniones y experiencias con servicios de salud mental/conductual. No se le pedirá que comparta su nombre, por lo que sus respuestas no serán vinculadas a usted. Por favor, comparta francamente sus opiniones y experiencias. Sus respuestas ayudarán a las escuelas de D.C. a mejorar los servicios de salud mental/conductual para los estudiantes y sus familias.
