Wilson Elementary District

Wilson School District is committed to creating safe learning environments for students (in-person and virtual), addressing learning losses caused by the pandemic, and supporting students' mental health. We will utilize funding to prepare and respond to COVID-19, address and prepare for virtual learning, address learning loss, and provide mental health support. To prepare and respond to COVID-19, Wilson School District will make school facility repairs and improvements to lower environmental health hazards and reduce the risk of viral transmission. In addition, we will modify common areas and outdoor spaces to increase outdoor learning opportunities and improve the air quality in school buildings. To address and prepare for virtual learning, Wilson SD will acquire new digital tools to assist in teaching, scheduling, and collaboration, and will train staff to use them. We will support teachers in modifying curricula for virtual learning. In addition, we will improve and update our technological infrastructure and purchase new educational technology. To address learning loss, Wilson has carefully selected evidence-based strategies to support ALL students, including low-income students, students with disabilities, English learners, students experiencing homelessness, and children in foster care. Wilson will provide reading and math interventionists to ensure targeted, small group instruction using evidence-based curricula. We will provide summer and after-school learning and enrichment opportunities using evidence-based curricula designed to focus instruction on learning loss, while scaffolding learning to grade level. We will implement and utilize digital tools to improve student attendance and engagement. To provide mental health support, we have designed classrooms and other in-school spaces to promote relationship building and mental wellness. In addition, we will hire personnel to offer mental health support and triage for returning students, including grief counseling. Wilson School District is proud to remain a steadfast supporter of our students, staff, and Wilson community to ensure all our students are learning at high levels every day.
