FAQ's

Who do I call if my child will be missing school?

Call the attendance hotline: (541) 757-5988
When your child is absent for either a full or partial day, it is very important to report the absence to the office by 9:15 am the day of the absence. In the interest of student health and safety, the office staff will phone parents or contacts who have not reported to us. When leaving a voice message, please include 1) your name, 2) student's name, 3) teacher, and 4) nature of the absence. If you are prearranging an absence for another day, please include the date of the absence. As always, you are welcome to phone Myrna Campbell or Heather Reich at the main office number (541-757-5987) for assistance.

Where do I get emergency and school closure information?

How can I be involved at Wilson?

Thanks for asking! There are many ways to volunteer at Wilson -- in the classroom, in the Volunteer Center, on field trips, for the lunch-time running program at Wildcat Trail, and at special events (such as the Art and Science Fair, Fun Run, Field Day, Artist in Residence projects, Discovery Nights, and school musicals). There is a good chance that your special skills and interests can be aligned with a volunteer activity!

If your schedule prevents you from volunteering during school hours, the Volunteer Center can pair you with some at home jobs.

To find out how to volunteer at Wilson, please visit the Volunteering page on this website.

Family members should also feel welcome to join in on the Friday morning assemblies. Every Friday, at approximately 8:30, all the classes meet in the gym for the weekly assembly. Each week varies but classes often perform a new skill that they have learned or share a writing sample. Seeing the kindergarteners sing their animal alphabet song is just too cute to miss! The Friday assemblies are usually about 15-20 minutes long.

Can I get another copy of the Wilson Wildcat?

All Wildcat issues are available on-line on the Wildcat page (the current issue is always available by its publication date, and sometimes even earlier). Paper copies are also available just outside the office.
