January 2024
Thank you again for your engagement and support through all of our holiday activities and events at school in December. We enjoyed the opportunity to make memories with our students during an exciting time of year.
In January, teachers will send home updated resources and access information for eLearning should any days be needed in the coming winter months.
We hope your family has enjoyed the time together during a safe and relaxing winter break. We look forward to welcoming our students back to play, learn, and grow together in 2024 at Wilson Creek.

Notes from our Nurses
As flu season continues, our goal is to prevent widespread illness in school. Please keep your child home if he/she is experiencing symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, vomiting, cough, and sore throat. Your child may return once he/she is 24 hours symptom-free without medication.
Remember, prevention is the key! The best way to prevent illness is with a good diet, plenty of rest, and most importantly, good hand washing. Hand washing is the best way to prevent bacteria/viruses from spreading and to keep your kids from getting sick. Dirty hands that touch eyes, noses or mouths can spread bacteria and viruses. The first line of defense against germs is handwashing!
Happy New Year!
