The Grandview Gallery is a wonderful part of our school district and due to current gathering restrictions, they have shifted to hosting virtual exhibits for the rest of this school year. We are thrilled to announce that they are calling for any interested Wilson Alumni to submit one piece of art for their next virtual exhibit “Near & Far”!
We love our Alumni artists and want to proudly exhibit what everyone is creating. ALL skill levels and ALL mediums are welcome. It doesn't matter to us whether you're a working professional or a hobbyist. Let's show everyone where art has taken you! Everyone's journey is very different yet similar, and we are excited to see where those intersections occur. Click here for additional details. We can’t wait to share this virtual exhibit with our community in the near future!

Reminder: Inclement Weather UPDATE |
|
The Wilson School District recently announced changes to our inclement weather process.
In the current 2020-2021 school year calendar, we had built in two inclement weather make up days. We have now used both of those make up days. The closure on Thursday, December 17, 2020 will be made up on Friday, February 12, 2021. Our closure on January 26, 2021 will be made up on Friday, June 4, 2021.
We have made a decision that we do not want our students to need to make up any more days in June. Therefore, the last day of school for students for the 2020-2021 school year will be Friday, June 4, 2021, which will be a half day. Any additional inclement weather days will become flexible remote learning days for all students in the Wilson School District.
Please note that secondary students will be following a Flex Day schedule on these flexible remote learning days due to inclement weather. Elementary students will have the ability to access independent, on-line learning activities provided by their teacher. This work will be posted by 9:00 am, and will be available for students to complete anytime during the day. We are providing this flexibility to be responsive to the needs of our elementary families.
In addition, in-person special education students will not be coming to our school buildings on flexible remote learning days
In the event that we need to implement one of these remote learning days, your building principal will provide additional details regarding the expectations for the day.
