Transportation
News -Transportation has a new feature
this school year that we think you will
appreciate. By calling 696-3780 and pressing
number 2, parents can find out if their student's
morning bus is late. This new feature will be available
Monday, August 31st. The information is updated
every morning and should be a help to parents and
students in the lower grade levels. At this time,
it is only available for morning route buses, not SPED.
Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
The office is open from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. If a
transportation issue arises before or after those times
you should call transportation directly by dialing
696-3780. Keep in mind you can also check bus stop
locations and times by going to the Amphi website
(www.amphi.com), click on transportation and follow the
prompts.

Safety
Issue - School hours are 8:00 am to 2:30
pm (12:45 pm on Tuesday) for elementary students.
School hours are from 8:20 am to 3:35 pm (1:36 pm on
Tuesday) for middle school students. Students may
not be on campus more that 20 minutes prior to the start
of school. We do not have adequate supervision
until that time. It is not safe to leave students
unattended. Our parking lot receives a lot of
traffic. A child could be hurt on the
playground. Do not bring your student to school
and drop them off without making sure the doors are
unlocked and that there is supervision. Please
help keep our students safe.
Call your Teacher or Check Their
Webpage - If you need to talk or meet
with a teacher please call first and set up a time to
meet with them. Do not just "drop in" to the class
as the teacher may not be able to give you their time or
full attention due to having a classroom full of
students or other commitment. If you have a
question about classroom activities, the best person to
ask is the classroom teacher. They have all the
latest, up to date information and will get back to you
as soon as possible. Teachers have their own web
page that can be accessed by going to
www.amphi.com/schools/wilson. Wilson also has a
Homework Hotline that the teachers maintain. Just
call 696-5800 and press 4 for the Homework
Hotline. Then follow the
prompts.
ATTTENDANCE - If
your student is going to be late or absent, please
remember to call the Wilson attendance line. You
can call 24 hours a day. Just dial 696-5800 and
press one for the attendance
line. |
