So what is the Wilson Way? Students, show us the meaning of the Wilson Way by making a video that brings it to life. What does it mean to exemplify the Wilson Way in the classroom, on campus, and in the community? Video entries are due by November 1 to Principal Chatard. Cash prizes and Wilson swag will be awarded to the winning entries, plus you can brag about winning on your resume! The winning video will be used in future classroom Wilson Way lessons. For more information, pick up a flyer in the main office.

Wilson offers two practice sessions every year with the help of Kaplan to give our students the opportunity to sit for these exams in a testing environment that is simply for practice to see how they do and what they need to study for the real thing. Scores are not reported to colleges.

Practice ACT: Friday, November 3 (a teacher planning day, so no school for students), 10 am in the cafeteria.  Arrive before 9:30—it takes some time to get everyone in the door and seated.  The cost is $10.00 at the door.  Students receiving Free/Reduced Lunch may take the practice exam for free. Advance registration at the link below is required.

Practice SAT: Monday, January 29. Details will be available closer to the date.

Don’t Want to be Pictured in the Yearbook? If you do not want to be pictured in the 2017-2018 yearbook, please leave a note with your name and grade in Mr. Higbee’s mailbox in the main office by November 20.
