Parents will need to create daily expectations for their child/children. We do NOT expect parents to do the teaching; allow the teacher to teach your child. Encourage your child to move around during the and follow a routine as much as possible. Talk with your child each night about the school day. Please make an active effort to stay in communication with your child's teacher. 

Parents as Partners during Distance Learning

If you move out of the district, you can remain enrolled in Wilson Distance Learning!

Wilson will continue to offer distance learning for families who wish to continue at-home instruction. We will provide a Wilson teacher with live and recorded lessons. Students will continue to follow a regular classroom schedule. More communication will follow as the re-opening date gets closer.

As of right now, Wilson School District is planning on students returning to the classrooms on August 17th. This is subject to change. Please follow Wilson School District No. 7 on Instagram, Facebook or download the school website app for important announcements.

Wilson Primary students can expect 2-4 hours of live instruction per day with a Wilson teacher, using Wilson adopted curriculum. There will also be asynchronous learning and regularly scheduled breaks, such as lunch. Students will engage in learning for up to 25 hours per week, with at least 50% of the time with a live, Wilson teacher.

Wilson Elementary students can expect a regular school day with live instruction each period with a Wilson teacher, using Wilson adopted curriculum during distance learning. There will also be opportunities for asynchronous learning throughout the day and regularly scheduled breaks, such as lunch. Students will engage in learning for up to 30 hours per week, with at least 50% of the time with a live, Wilson teacher.

Print materials and technology necessary to successfully learn at home will be provided during on-boarding training.

YES! Students will need to check in with their teacher before noon each day in order to avoid being counted absent for the day. If a student is ill and cannot attend to complete the check in, parents need to call the school attendance line to report the absence before the end of the day.

In order to consider “in attendance,” students are expected to interact and respond to their teachers everyday. This may include any of the following:
• Online form, question, survey
• Chat participation (directly with teacher or as part of a teacher facilitated group chat)
• Email
• Voicemail
• Video meeting
Attendance is not based on assignment completion. Families will be contacted if students do not complete the check-ins.

Services will be provided as outlined in the student’s Individual Education Program (IEP). For families selecting Wilson Distance Learning or the Wilson Virtual Academy, a student’s IEP team will meet to determine whether digital or in person services are necessary. Distance learning may not be appropriate for all students with disabilities.

The District will require universal masking. Students will be required to wear a cloth or surgical mask, subject of the health condition exception stated in the reopening document.

Students may bring their own cloth face covering or surgical mask to a from school. Schools will also have a supply of face coverings available to provide for students that have forgotten theirs or do not have one available.

Students will be dropped off and picked up from school without parents getting out of the car, with very limited exception and with expressed permission from a site administrator that is provided for good cause. If a parents has prior permission to get out of the car during drop-off/pick-up, the student’s arrival/dismissal to/from school may have assigned times different than the majority of students. If the parent walks a student to school, the parent will not be allowed to enter the school or grounds and must drop off the student outside of the school campus. If parent’s families ride a bike to school
with student bike riders, parents will not be allowed to enter the school grounds and must drop off the student outside of the campus.
Each campus will have more specific drop-off/pick-up procedures since each campus is unique.

Once in person classes are in session, Parent/Guardians are responsible for screening their students for COVID Symptoms each morning before bringing them to school. THe CDC provides a 'self-check' to help individuals make a decision and seek appropriate medical care. The self checker can be used for children and found at:

The District will limit nonessential visitors and volunteers at school except for the safety and well-being of students. Parents will report to the front office and not go beyond unless it is for safety or well-being of their child and must follow all safety protocols including physically distancing, as feasible, and wearing a face mask.
