It was another great week at Wilson Hill. Today all our students were able to attend a Veterans Day assembly where they got to view a wonderful performance from our 3rd grade students, as well as listen to First Lieutenant Jeffery Lazar - Ohio Air National Guard speak about their service to our country.
Below you'll find the updates for the week. Please reach out directly with any questions.

Previous Updates:
School-Wide Safety Drill on 11/17
Wilson Hill will be participating in a school-wide safety drill on 11/17th at 1:00pm. Students and staff will practice the Lock-out and Lock-down safety drills - two drills intended to keep students in classrooms during a suspected emergency and prevent all outside entrance into the school.
We realize that safety drills have the potential to create anxiety for students. Our goal will be to provide clear information in a caring manner and to conduct drills in a way that does not cause fear or anxiety for students. Prior to the drill, teachers will work with students in an age appropriate way to understand the difference between the two types of drills and to review expectations during each drill.
In addition, this safety drill will allow our school to practice communication in the event of a true emergency. As a parent/guardian, you can expect to receive notification on the day of the safety drill via email and text message at the onset of the drill and after it has concluded. Since this is occurring across all of our buildings, families with children in multiple schools will receive drill messages from each school. We apologize in advance for sending multiple messages, but we want to make sure all of our systems are working.
If you would like to confirm or correct a phone number or email address so you can receive notifications, please update your information in the Emergency Data Review section of the parent portal. Instructions can be found here: Emergency Data Review Instructions. Please update any information in advance of the scheduled drill.
