Bulldog families,

As we approach our two-week break to celebrate the holiday season, please be reminded that we have semester testing the entire week of 12/15 (please view the exam schedule here), so please plan any travel accordingly. Unfortunately, the district does not allow us to test students before 12/15, so if your student will miss any day during this week, they will either need to contact Ms. Batista to try and schedule a make-up during the week of 12/15 or wait until after we return and make them up on January 6^th or 7th.

Please keep reading to catch up on all that is happening, including information regarding our annual Holiday Gift Fund organized by our wonderful PTSA and Foundation. It's the simplest way to show appreciation to the staff here at Wilson without needing to purchase individual gifts for each staff member.

I hope all of you enjoy the holiday season, and I look forward to seeing everyone back here in January!

Warm regards,
Keith Fantauzzo
Principal, Woodrow Wilson Middle School
