March 2024
We've made it to our third and final trimester of this school year! Along with more daylight and warmer weather, we'll be fitting it a lot more fun and excitement for our students. There are still many things to learn and lots of memories to be made in the months ahead.
Thank you for your continued support of your child and their teachers. So much of what happens at home contributes to the success of our kids at school and we appreciate the engaged and dedicated families of Wilson Creek!
Please continue to read your child's grade level/classroom newsletter for important dates, reminders, and special events.
