Dear Parent,
 
We're back!  We hope that you all attend the appropriate "Parent Orientation Night" and take the time to get to know your school, your PTO, and your child's teachers.  There are many helpful parents around, please don't hesitate to ask questions.
 
We apologize for not getting this email out by Friday morning.  We are learning the system and had a few road blocks.  Some of the things mentioned, will have 'clicks' attached next time. 
School Administration would like you to know ...

On Thursday or Friday, all students were given a tiny packet of information to take home.  Please check their backpacks, and or ask them for it.  From here on out, there will only be a rare occasion that information will go home this way. 
 
Reminder, that your child's teacher will discuss with you how they prefer to communicate on a weekly basis.  Don't forget to check their classroom websites as well.
 
If you did not see the letter from the District's "Transportation Dept" regarding safety and riding the bus.  Go to the Districts Website <www.amphi.com>.

The "Community Connection" is a MUST HAVE!
 
It is a school wide directory with a list of all teachers, staff, administrators and students, along with phone numbers, addresses, class lists, etc.  The cost is $2.  An order form went home yesterday.  There will be an order form available online by the end of next week.  The deadline to order is Sept 11th.
 
The directory is not to be used for professional gain, or any type of solicitation.  We are however, for the first time, offering an opportunity to advertise in the directory for a small fee.  If you would like to advertise your business in this directory, please email Dee at borendame@comcast.net receive additional information.
Wrangler Wear - Wrangler Store - School Spirit Fridays
 
Every Friday is school spirit for the ENTIRE school.  Live on Friday morning announcements, students names will be drawn from a raffle bin.  If those students are wearing a "Wilson" shirt, they receive a coupon to be redeemed at the Cafeteria's snack bar that day at lunch.  It is no longer just 'blue and green' ... it's an actual "Wilson" shirt.  It can be old ones, new ones, wilson school athletics, but not the Wilson PE uniform, and NOT just the 'class t-shirt' worn on field trips and such.
 
An order form for purchasing Wrangler Wear was sent home hard copy, and will be available on line at the end of next week.  Deadline to order is Aug 24.
 
The Wrangler Store is open every Friday morning (unless given advance notice otherwise), in the Elementary court yard from 7:30am-8:00am, then in the Middle School courtyard area from 8:00am til 8:25am.
Give "FUNDraisers the BOOT" ... for your PTO
 
If you are new to Wilson, then you will be pleased to know, that our PTO raises necessary funds NOT through selling items such as Magazines, Gift Wrap and Cookie Dough (to name a few).  We have a direct giving campaign, by writing a check and "Filling the Boot", with 100% of the funds used in efforts to make our children's educational experience the best it can be.  We hope that you will participate!
 
Donation envelopes were sent home.  The "Fill the Boot" campaign is from Aug 6th - Sept 24th. 
 
Based on input from others, new this year is donating via "Pay Pal".  We hope to have the "Paypal" button setup on the School Website by the end of next week.  Stay tuned!
