Share Your Thoughts With Us!
|
We are excited to launch a new tool to gain insight into the thoughts and ideas of our stakeholders. We recently established a relationship with a company called Thoughtexchange, which works with schools and other organizations to provide a platform for people to share their ideas via open-ended questions. The question we will be asking in this first Thoughtexchange is:
What is the Wilson School District doing well and what are opportunities for improvement for the benefit of our students?
You can access the Exchange by clicking on this
link.
Once you enter the Exchange, you'll be asked to respond to the question, consider and assign stars to the ideas shared by others, and learn what's important to the group.
Please note that there is an option to register, but that is not required.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on as we look forward to the 2019-2020 school year. Participation will be open until May 28.
We look forward to hearing from you, so we can work together to make the Wilson School District the best it can be!

Wilson Middle Schools Celebrate Being “Schools to Watch”
|

The students and staff of Wilson Southern and Wilson West Middle Schools celebrated being re-designated as “Schools to Watch” in Pennsylvania during school-wide assemblies featuring student presentations, special music, and lots of applause!
Schools are selected for this honor based on academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and organizational structures and processes.
In addition, each school must display strong leadership, teachers who work together to improve curriculum and instruction, and a commitment to assessment and accountability to bring about continuous improvement. We could not be more proud of the students, staff, administration, and families at Wilson Southern and Wilson West for achieving this incredible honor!

It was a fun evening for everyone involved!

Wilson West Has Strong Showing at Junior Envirothon
|
|
Recently, Wilson West Middle School took five teams of sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade students to participate in the Junior Envirothon competition at Nolde Forest. This event gives middle school students the opportunity to work together in teams, gain environmental literacy, problem solve, and meet students from other Berk County schools.
Teams are tested in their knowledge of aquatics, forestry, wildlife, and soils. One of our teams earned sixth place out of nearly 40 teams. We are very proud of all of the hard work our students put into preparing for this event and look forward to competing again next year.
