Future Wildcats
Welcome to all of our Future Wildcats! If you currently attend one of our feeder middle schools, Cedarlane Academy or Mesa Robles Middle School, we will be visting you in February! Once we return for course selection, the classes you have selected will be visible under the "Course Request" section of your student Aeries account - be sure to select your "PreEnrolled Wilson student" before viewing!
For all of our students joining us from other schools, we look forward to meeting you! A Wilson counselor will visit Fairgrove Academy, Newton Middle School, and Sparks Middle School in the coming weeks to take care of your class registration. All other students will be reached out to via email/phone to begin the registration process. Worried about class availability? Don't be! Class selection is NOT based on time of registration. ALL of our incoming 9th graders have equal access to classes. Questions? Feel free to reach out to our counseling office staff at 626-934-4411.
