Message from the Principal...
We have had such a great start to the year even amid some very tough circumstances. Learning is off and running and we couldn't be happier. Thank you for your help as we worked to get everyone in a routine.
This year we welcomed not only our new Pre-K and Kinder students, but also over a hundred other new Lions. Our area is growing and that is exciting!!!! So many new families are joining our Lion Family.
We have seen a rise in COVID cases and in order to protect the students and staff, we made the decision to prohibit visitors and volunteers in our building. Again, I am hopeful that this is a temporary decision. We love having Watch DOGS and so many other volunteers. Please know that keeping our campus open is my number one priority. The health and well-being of our students and staff means everything to me. I want to continue to reiterate the importance of taking all precautions in keeping our students and staff safe at Wilkinson. Each family has the choice to have their child wear a mask or not. Please know that our teachers are working hard to clean and disinfect in between classrooms, they are encouraging students to regularly wash hands, and CISD is using e-misting every night in all areas of the building. In order to prevent a shut down of our school, it truly takes all of us working together. Many believe that shutting down our campus means we move virtual. Unfortunately, this is not true. Instead, the school would be considered closed, and the days would be made up later in the year. Again, please help me in doing our part to keep our children and our teachers safe and healthy.
Thanks for entrusting us with your most precious gift,
Mrs. Stewart
News from our Assistant Principal...
Dear Parents,
We cannot thank you enough for the wonderful first few weeks of school. The staff has worked very hard preparing for the opening of school and they have done an excellent job. The students did an outstanding job learning the expectations and they are already in a routine that will provide a year of increased student achievement.
We will continue to strengthen our school culture by practicing positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). We will teach students expected behaviors during daily morning meetings.
At Wilkinson, we strongly value open, effective communication. Parent/teacher communication benefits the children and the teachers. If you ever have a question or concern, do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher.
Mrs. Summerville

Spirit Days

Counselor's Corner
We are rolling with our R.O.A.R. Character Education Program! R.O.A.R. stands for Respect, Optimism, Acceptance and Responsibility! This year, we will have a new way to dive deep into our character education at Wilkinson. Each month, we will have a specific “focus” for the month that helps students to dig a little deeper into ways they can show Respect, Optimism, Acceptance and Responsibility.
This month’s focus is “Being in Control: I am cool, calm and collected.” Your students will learn strategies they can use every day to help them to “be in control” of their minds and bodies through their thoughts, words and actions. They may learn strategies to help them with the following and much more:
Delayed Gratification - learning to resist the impulse to take an immediate reward because we can wait for a more valuable reward in the future (This can also look like waiting for something we want right now.)
Body Control - using strategies to help manage body movements and our own actions
Taking Turns - using body control while allowing someone else to have a turn, waiting patiently for my turn
Attending to cues/signals from others - paying close attention to verbal or visual cues/signals given by adults and peers (when to stop, where to go, what to do, what not to do, etc), following the directions or instructions given in cues/signals
Filtering thoughts - use strategies to filter our thoughts before saying them out loud (Are they kind, thoughtful, true or helpful? If yes to all, it’s ok to say them out loud.)
Your students will discuss this concept during Guidance Lessons and during Morning Meetings this month. Thank you in advance for taking the time to discuss this with your students, and encouraging them to practice being responsible and making responsible decisions.
