"Willis One" Newsletter - Feb. 19, 2021
Please take a few moments to read the Willis One newsletter for an update on what is happening at Willis. You may access the letter, in English and Spanish, on Mr. Delp's section of the Willis web site (CLICK HERE).
Willis Mindfulness Room
This year, Willis has opened a Mindfulness Room. We know that being in junior high has unique challenges and students can feel overwhelmed -- especially this year! The room offers a quiet space dedicated to enhancing and teaching students about being mindful. Practicing mindfulness can help with focus and learning and with emotional regulation. Ask your student if they have been to the Mindfulness Room and what they think about it. Contact the School Social Worker, Ms. Boersma, or a counselor (Ms. Chapin and Ms. Murray) if you would like to learn more.
7th Grade Registration Resources
Resources are now available to assist incoming 7th grade students and their families as they navigate the junior high registration process. Please review the following information on the Willis website:
If you have any questions, or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office and we will direct you to someone who can help.
Free Lunch and Breakfast
For the 2020-21 school year, we are able to offer ALL of our students free breakfast and lunch. Please take advantage of this opportunity (and perhaps ease some financial burden) by encouraging your student to get something to eat at school. Students may eat breakfast in the cafeteria when they arrive in the morning and because we have four lunch periods there is plenty of time for them to get a lunch. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office: 480-883-5700.
Registration for 2020-21 School Year
Thank you for your interest in registering your child at Willis Junior High School. We look forward to assisting you. At this time, we encourage you to utilize the online registration portal to begin the registration process. Once you have completed the online form and submitted required documents, our registrar will be in contact to complete the process. Should you prefer to register your child in person, an appointment is required. If you need additional assistance, or would like to schedule an appointment for in-person registration, you may call our office at 480-883-5700. Thank you!
