September 2, 2021
We had a great start to the 2021-2022 school year! Our teachers, staff, and administration are eager to help all our students fulfill our mission to "empower our students to create their own future."
 
As a reminder, there will be no school for students or staff on Friday, September 3, or Monday, September 6, in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Can't wait to see all our students back on September 7!
2021 Yearbooks Are In!
The 2021 Yearbooks are here! If a student ordered a yearbook, they may stop by the Upper House Office to pick it up.

Parents of graduating seniors can also pick up their student's yearbook at the office during regular office hours.
Free Meals for ALL Students for 2021-2022 School Year
The USDA announced that the waivers that allow schools to serve ALL children meals for free, regardless of their income, will be continued again this school year! What this means for the Wilson School District is that ALL of our students are able to receive free breakfast and lunch on any day that school is in session.  
 
Here are some specific details regarding how this impacts your child(ren):

All students can receive a full breakfast AND full lunch for free regardless of income or grade level.

Only one full meal at both breakfast and lunch will be offered for free. If students choose to purchase a la carte items or additional meals (meaning double lunch!), those items will be charged to their food service account.  

Student meals will still be recorded through our POS system so that we can check for allergies and other important notations in their food services account.
We encourage families to continue filling out applications for free and reduced lunch.  Details can be found here.
 
We encourage families to take advantage of this benefit, provided by the USDA, for ALL students to receive free meals. Our Food Service Team is excited to serve your children healthy and tasty meals this school year!

Wilson vs. Mifflin Varsity Football Game Live Stream
Can't attend Friday night's Wilson vs. Mifflin football game in person? No problem! Governor Mifflin will be live stream at the following link:

Updated Student Section Information/ Stadium Layout for Home Football Games
As Friday night football games typically draw a large crowd, we would like to inform you of some expectations and changes to the layout of the stadium.

  • There will be no “pass through” behind the home bleachers. Traditionally, the gates have been open behind the home bleachers and guests can walk behind the bleachers to the other side. We are closing off a section in the back closer to Bulldog Field to ensure that the visiting team and other key personnel have a specific location to park and have access to locker rooms. Both of the access points to/from the backside of the home bleachers will still be available, but there will be no straight walkthrough from one side to the other.

  • No football games during the football game! We appreciate that, oftentimes, players on younger teams want to play football at Friday night games. Over the years, we have seen a large number of incidents and injuries occur because of this, and we will not be permitting this; nor will the area next to the scoreboard be open for any guests to utilize. We thank you for your cooperation and encourage you to come watch the Varsity game.

  • We will have a dedicated student section for ALL students! Traditionally dedicated for high school students, the Dawg Pound will be expanding and we will be putting signs on the far side of the home bleachers for both our high school students and our younger Wilson students. Bottom line, we want our students at games, and we want you to be in the stands, generating a lot of noise and excitement for our teams.

We can’t wait to cheer on ALL our Bulldogs this season!
