From the PrincipalThe end of the school year is almost here. As educators, we do have a very special calling and responsibility, and I would like to thank our teachers for their dedication to kids and making a positive impact in their lives. I would also like to thank all of the parent volunteers that have been a part of different committees and organizations throughout this school year. Additionally, a big thank you goes out to our PTO for all the things that they have done for students and staff. They have helped play a key role in our kids success. Most importantly, I would like to thank our kids for being themselves, doing the right things, and helping to make WMS a special place. I hope everyone has a successful end to the school year and a safe, fun summer break.
Parents remember the last day of school is Wednesday, May 20th, and students will be dismissed at 12:45 PM. The Middle School Student Council, in conjunction with our food service director Mr. Steffen, is providing Subway sandwiches the last day of school. If you or a group of parents are having a limousine pick up student(s), please contact the school
before May 20th. Our secretaries can then communicate with you where the limos need
to park so that we create the most efficient flow of traffic. The school can be reached at 786-2348.
Students who checked out a lock will have their $5 deposit refunded when they return their lock the last day of school. I would also like to remind everyone to check the lost and found for any items that may have been lost during the course of the school year. Items not picked up by the end of the year are donated to various non-profit organizations. Also, if you are interested in your son/daughter participating in summer school, please contact me at the school.
One final note, I know that some would like to get student schedules for next year as soon as possible, however, those schedules are not available until August. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 13th for the start of the 2009-10 school year.
