Do You Have Wilder Pride? (How about Wilder Spririt Jewelry?)

Jostens, one of our community partners, is a leading provider of products, programs and services that include yearbooks, graduation products and products for athletic champions and their fans. In the near future, Jostens will offer students an opportunity to purchase Wilder spirit wear (and now, Wilder Spirit jewelry!). They have created a survey for our students, parents, and the greater Wilder community to assess interest in pride and spirit wear (and jewelry) being sold at Wilder.

iBook Online Parent Technology Orientation

To help parents understand the iBook initiative, every parent of a student new to HCPS Middle Schools is required to complete parent technology orientation. Parents of incoming sixth graders must complete face-to-face orientation at their student's middle school. (Parents who have completed training for an older sibling are not required to repeat training but are encouraged to attend.)

Transfer parents may complete orientation online using the link below. Online training is updated each fall and available to parents of students new to HCPS schools after October 1st of each school year or after all Middle School student iBooks have been distributed. Face-to-face sessions in HCPS middle schools are held until that date.
