Mark Wackwitz - Assistant Principal & 7th Grade Admin
We are already 3 weeks in to the 25-26 school year and the energy coming into this school year has been great! Thank you to those of you who have already donated to the West Wildcat Challenge that started this week. As of Thursday morning we have 33% of our goal – raising almost $21,000. Please go to https://r4funds.com/schools/westmsrun25/ to donate.
Also, we want to share a couple of important safety reminders and notes:
- There should be no drop offs or pick ups along Holly Street. We know traffic can be slow at times on Holly but please make sure you are in a parking lot or drop off lane when students are getting in or out of your vehicles. Please see the WMS Student Handbook for further information.
- The visitor loop will continue to be blocked off until buses have completed their pick up or drop off in mornings and afternoons.
- Make sure if a student is staying after school, they are participating in an approved school activity, club, or homework help. Students not picked up by 4:05pm will be directed to Homework Help, and you will need to come in to get them.
- The WMS Fall Lockdown Drill will be happening the week of September 22nd. More information will be coming in the following weeks.
Thank you for all of your support in ensuring student safety at WMS!
New information will always appear above the blue line, while reminders and helpful links can be found below it.
Cherry Creek High School and CCSD information is at the bottom of this newsletter, past the reminders! 😀

Transportation is required by CDE Regulations to account for all students on the bus and unauthorized passengers are not permitted. However, the Transportation Department recognizes that circumstances may arise, e.g. a family emergency, parents out of town, etc., when a student needs to ride home with another student on a one-time only basis. The student must get off at the assigned stop of the student they are riding with (no exceptions).
Make sure to fill out and turn in the linked Permission Slip to the Campus Admins office no later than 9:00 AM on the requested ride date. Forms can be printed and handed to the Campus Admins Assistant. Hard copies of the form can be picked up from the Campus Admins office if they are needed but must be picked up prior to the day they need to ride a different bus. No emails will be accepted. If there is an emergency, please call the Campus Admins office at 720-554-5155.
