Principal's Message

I hope you are as excited to send your child to Wilson as we are to have your child attend here. This is going to be an exciting and challenging year for our students.

Your child will be attending 2 core classes a day, including reading, math, science, language arts, social studies, as well as PE, and/or electives and interventions. Electives/interventions may include: Spanish, Cultural Studies, Concert, Symphonic, and Jazz Band; Journalism/Yearbook, Math Activities and More, Leadership, Creative Writing, Recreational Sports, and Character Counts. Significant to our program are the Accelerated Reader Program, and the math and reading interventions. The Accelerated Reader Program will provide students exciting and motivating ways to improve reading. The math and reading interventions support students below grade level in math and/or reading.

Research indicates that students who get involved at school are more successful. I encourage you to get your child involved in the many activities available, which include student government, clubs, academic teams, sports, rallies, and dances.

Report Card Resources

Report cards are delivered to parents once each trimester during the school year. For Trimester 1, report cards are provided to parents at parent/teacher conferences on November 19th and 20th. For the second and third trimesters, report cards are mailed home at the end of each trimester.

Woodrow Wilson Junior High publishes a resource document for parents that provides a clear explanation of the grades students receive and the proficiency levels that students are expected to achieve.
