Bulldog families,

We officially wrapped up Quarter One on October 10th, and I’m thrilled to share that our students have demonstrated remarkable academic growth across every grade level. Their hard work and dedication are truly inspiring!

As we launch into Quarter Two, I want to emphasize the importance of consistent school attendance. Being present in the classroom is essential—when students are engaged directly with their teachers, meaningful learning happens.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to celebrate our outstanding Red Card recipients—students who earned straight A’s—at the Red Card Lunch on October 29th, generously sponsored by Wilson’s amazing PTSA. It’s going to be a fantastic event honoring academic excellence!

Go Bulldogs!

Warm regards,
Keith Fantauzzo
Principal, Woodrow Wilson Middle School

Thank you to Media Center Specialist, Ms. Pettit, for organizing a wonderful visit from the author of Dawn of the Dragons (New Dragon City), Mari Mancusi! Because of the generosity of individuals and families who support the PTSA, every student who attended received a copy of the novel to be signed by the author!

IS REQUIRED FOR ALL ADULTS SIGNING A CHILD OUT OF SCHOOL. Only adults listed on the student emergency card will be permitted to sign a student out of school. Please do not ask permission for someone to sign your child out early unless they are on the emergency card.
