We couldn't "function" without Mr. Thompson helping us with technology! He was treated to gourmet doughnuts and fifth grade students created the funny poster. Pictured with Mr. Thompson are Mrs. Dean, principal and Mrs. McCrary, Matt Wilson Sunshine Representative.

Our school vestibules act as a secure buffer zone, adding an extra layer of protection for our students and staff. All visitors must be cleared through the vestibule before entering the main building. #SafetyFirst #4theT

Did you know our Matt Wilson teachers are lifelong learners just like our students? Teachers participate in collaborative planning each week. This planning builds stronger teachers and more successful students. Thanks goes out to all our teachers for their hard work and dedication!

Today we celebrate Mr. Jared Thompson! It's National IT day and we want to thank him for running to take care of all our technology needs at Matt Wilson Elementary!

Mrs. Webster’s class was so excited to spend their DOJO points Friday! Students earned DOJO points for being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready!

The safety of our students and staff is non-negotiable. That's why we have AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) at every school campus. These life-saving devices can make a critical difference in the event of a cardiac emergency. #SafetyFirst #4theT

Ensuring student safety is fundamental to our mission. That's why all visitors must present a valid ID before entering any of our school buildings. This simple yet effective measure helps us ensure a secure learning environment for every child. #SafetyFirst #4theT

Our commitment to student safety is steadfast. That's why all exterior doors remain locked throughout the school day, ensuring a secure learning environment for every child. #SafetyFirst #4theT

Our commitment to student safety extends beyond the school walls. Our dedicated System Security Officers (SSOs) have received specialized training from City and County police to expertly direct traffic during high traffic arrival times. This ensures the safety of our students, staff, and families as they enter and exit our campuses. #SafetyFirst #4theT

Student and Staff safety is our top priority. That's why we conduct monthly safety drills in all our schools. Over the course of the year, our drills include fire drills, lockdown drills, severe weather drills, and evacuation drills. These drills ensure that students and staff are well-prepared to respond effectively in case of an emergency. #SafetyFirst #4theT

MWE is proud to honor our Hispanic Staff Members this month. We are thankful to have them as part of our team!

Mrs. McRae's first graders are loving their flexible seating choices! Some choices the students can choose from are tables, desks, and stools. No matter the seating they choose, they are working hard!
