TO THE FAMILY WEL C OME
Your whole family is a part of the Wildcat community now, and that means we strive to provide all of you with the resources and information you need to stay connected and keep your student on track.

jwuLink is one of our official ways of communicating with them, so they should be checking it, along with their Wildcat email, daily!
