WMS Weekly Warrior

September 8, 2026

Good afternoon, WMS families,

We hope you enjoyed the great weekend and beautiful weather.

We are off to a great start to the 2026-27 school year.

Last Friday, we began the day with our First Friday Chapter Reading. On the first Friday of each month, a guest reader reads the first chapter of a new book. The idea is to spark interest and promote more reading for enjoyment. This month's title was Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling. The students enjoyed the chapter, and shortly thereafter, two students checked the book out from our library. Keep reading, everyone.

Picture day is September 24th. Below is a copy of the form listing the available packages. We will also send a hard copy home in the coming days. If you do not receive a form, please contact the office before September 24th.

Our Parents in the Middle (PIM), in coordination with the WMS, is sponsoring a schoolwide fundraiser to support student activities throughout the school year. Please see the attached flyer. We will send hard copies of the flyer home at the start of the fundraiser, September 21. We appreciate your support for this beneficial fundraiser.

Each year, we celebrate our summer learners with prizes that recognize their hard work in staying engaged in their learning over the summer months. PIM asks that you support this effort by completing the linked form.

Many of our students have been enjoying breakfast in our cafeteria. Please note that if you'd like your student to receive breakfast, they will need to be in the cafeteria before 7:20, when it closes.

WMS fall sports have begun, and competition will start next week. We look forward to a great season for all our teams and athletes.

WMS clubs are being introduced during Family on Thursday this week. Students who are interested in joining a club must complete permission slips. Clubs will begin the week of September 28th.

As a reminder, we are linking the WMS grading letter previously sent home to families.

Have a great week,

WMS Admin

Region 14 and All-Star Transportation uses the Stopfinder App

Stopfinder is an easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived or departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school.

GeoAlert Alert Zones can be created for individual students allowing you to customize the Alert Zone based on their bus route.

Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Directions for the download can be found at
