Williams Science and Fine Arts Magnet School

We look forward to seeing you this evening at Meet the Teacher Night! 4:30-5:30 pm

💙Our Wildcats have been hard at work this past week preparing to welcome our students back.

We've been learning, growing, collaborating, and celebrating as we get ready for an amazing year ahead.

Here's to a GREAT school year!

One of the best ways to help your child succeed is through regular school attendance. Every day matters, and being present helps students stay connected, build strong habits, and make the most of their educational experience.

To help you plan ahead, we have provided a school calendar with important dates for the upcoming year. We encourage you to use it when scheduling appointments, vacations, and other activities whenever possible.

We look forward to welcoming our Wildcats back next week and are excited for the new school year!

💙As our amazing staff prepares to welcome students back, we'd love to have our community's support in showing appreciation for all they do! Help us to stock the Wildcat Teacher Lounge by donating treats, drinks, snacks, and other goodies!

Donations can be dropped off during Meet the Teacher Night, August 10th, or anytime between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm the first week of school.

We thank you for helping us to celebrate the incredible people who help our students excel and make Williams a great place to be! 💙

We look forward to welcoming our families on Monday, August 10th, from 4:30-5:30 pm for Meet the Teacher Night! All students, preschool through 5th grade, are welcome to visit the school and meet their teacher! 🐾

Teacher at Sea: Mrs. Amelia Black has been participating in the NOAA Teacher at Sea Program this summer. This program gives K-16 teachers insight into our ocean planet and increases understanding of earth system science through real research projects. Mrs. Black took off on July 7th from Pascagoula, Mississippi, aboard the NOAA Ship Oregon II, joining scientists on the summer groundfish survey. You can read about her adventures on her blog! 🛥️
