Happy New Year! It has been a great first day back seeing all of our students and their smiling faces! I have truly enjoyed talking with kids and hearing all about their winter break adventures. This week is a busy week with half days and parent/teacher conferences. We will dismiss at 12:00pm Wednesday-Friday this week. If you have not signed up for a parent/teacher conference, and would like to meet with your child's teacher, please call the front office or email the teacher.
We look forward to an amazing second semester and all the learning that will occur here at Wilson! We appreciate you as parents and love working with your children!
Kindly,
Lara Olsen, Principal
Schyla Bergeson, Asst. Principal
Principal's Message
Capturing Kids' Hearts
Our theme this Month is Respect
Honor You, Honor Me
There is a saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” We have focused our message this week on body language and how our body language sends a message to people. We encourage our students to demonstrate appropriate body language when they speak to staff and one another, when they are asked to do something hard, if they are discouraged, or meeting someone for the first time.
