To conduct the evaluation Bright Bytes utilizes a series of brief surveys. Students in grades 5-8 will be surveyed in school during the school day. Student surveys will take approximately 15 minutes. The surveys are anonymous and do not collect any personal information from your children. Surveys for families can be completed anytime using the following link:

Books! Books! Books!:
Do you have Wilson library books lying around your house? Could you please round them up and send them back to the library with your students. We will be sending reminders to all students who have overdue books. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this important end of year responsibility.
Summer Book Checkout:
Students entering grades 6, 7, & 8 (who are in good library standing) can check out up to 10 books from the Wilson library for the summer. We provide a bag for the books, and a list of the titles checked out. We will expect the books to be returned the first week of school. Parental permission is required to participate in this program. (Permission slip attached)
