WMS Friday Forecast
April 24 , 2026
Dear Wredling Families,
As we move through the second half of the school year, I want to take a moment to connect with you about something that remains at the heart of who we are as a school community: our commitment to a culture of dignity.
This year, much of our work with students and staff has centered on redefining what it means to be a RedHawk. While our core expectations—being respectful, making responsible choices, and staying safe—continue to guide us, being a RedHawk is also about something deeper. It’s about creating a school environment grounded in high expectations, a sense of belonging, and genuine care for one another. It’s about laughter, connection, and pride in being part of this community.
Recently, we have addressed concerns related to student language and behavior, including instances of inappropriate or racially charged language. I want to be clear in sharing that language or actions that make others feel unsafe, marginalized, or “less than” do not align with who we are or who we strive to be at Wredling.
Our responsibility as educators is to ensure that every student experiences a safe, predictable, and supportive learning environment. This means we take action when expectations are not met. When situations arise, our staff is committed to addressing them promptly, documenting them appropriately, and partnering with families to support student growth.
Just as importantly, we are focused on proactive efforts to build strong relationships with students, teach and model respectful communication, and create classroom spaces where every student feels seen, valued, and supported. We realize that when we say nothing, the message that we are sending is that we allow, condone, and permit the behavior and language and culture of othering. In addition, we recognize that experiences involving bias or exclusion can be deeply impactful, and we work to respond with care, empathy, and appropriate support.
We ask for your partnership in reinforcing these expectations at home. Conversations about respect, responsibility, and the impact of words matter. When students hear consistent messages from both school and home, it strengthens their understanding and helps them make better choices.
At Wredling, we are proud to be RedHawks. That pride is reflected in how we treat one another each day.
Thank you for your continued support in making Wredling a place where all students can learn, grow, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Health Office Reminders
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe we are at the end of the school year already. We would like you to be aware of the following procedures for medications in the health office.
All medications must be picked up by an adult over the age of 18 prior to the last day of school. The only medications we can send home with students are epinephrine pens, inhalers, and diabetes supplies.
We ask that all medication be picked up prior to May 26, 2026.
Any medications that are not picked up by 2 PM on Wednesday May 27th, will be disposed of by the health office. We do not keep medications in the health office during the summer break.
School Physicals for the 2026-2027 School Year
🚨Students entering 6th grade must submit evidence of a State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form . 6th graders are required to have one dose of the Tdap vaccine and one dose of the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) on or after their 11th birthday. Also, students entering the 6th grade must submit evidence of a dental examination completed within 18 months prior to May 15th of that school year. Students who are entering 9th grade will also need the Certificate of Child Health examination form. Those forms should be submitted to their appropriate high school.
If your student is entering an Illinois school for the first time, evidence of a physical examination and a complete record of immunizations must be submitted within 30 days of their first day of school.
We will need evidence of the physical and immunizations, or proof of an appointment by October 1, 2026. Our email is Wms-Nurses@d303.org. Our fax number is 331-228-3707. If this number does not work, fax your paperwork to the main office at 331-228-3701.

Hello Wredling parents!
As Teacher Appreciation Week approaches, we’re really looking forward to celebrating the amazing staff who pour so much into our kids every single day. Their patience, dedication, and care truly don’t go unnoticed—and this is our chance to give a little of that love back
If volunteering feels more meaningful to you than donating, I would absolutely love your help. Please feel free to reach out—my name is Natasha, and I currently serve as the Staff Appreciation Chair. You can contact me at Natasha.marie24@gmail.com.
We also have a Target wishlist with items to help make the week extra special (link below). If you’d prefer, gift cards can be donated through the site or dropped off at the school office.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this. Whether it’s your time, a small contribution, or simply your intention to give back—it all matters more than you know! The Wredling staff feels every bit of this support, and we are so grateful to come together as a community to lift them up.
With so much appreciation,
Natasha

Help Us Collect ONE MILLION Pop Tabs!
We’re on a mission to collect one million pop tabs for Ronald McDonald House Charities, and we can’t do it without YOU (and your grandparents, cousins, neighbors, and carpool crew)!
Those tiny aluminum tabs from soda cans, soup lids, or sparkling water may seem small—but when we collect them together, they add up to real support for families with seriously ill children.
Here’s how to pitch in:
Save your pop tabs at home—and ask your grandparents, cousins, friends, and neighbors to do the same!
Bring them to school all year long.
Every tab brings us closer to our 1,000,000-tab goal!
Let's pull together and make a difference!
