Welcome to a new school year at Wilder s Preparatory Academy. It is hard to believe that it is already time to get ready for another terrific year. I hope that you are having a relaxed, fun-filled summer.

We’re also providing many opportunities for you to become more involved with your child’s experiences at school. By working together as a team, we can make this the most enjoyable and rewarding year yet!

Each article is 2-4 pages long and is accompanied by additional pages of questions and puzzles for students to demonstrate what they have learned. Complete answers are provided in a teacher section. An additional Health notebook dealing with the more controversial subjects of drugs, alcohol, smoking and sexual relations is also available.
