Note From Our Principal
Dear RedHawk Families
As we move through the heart of the school year, I want to pause and thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students and our school community.
Together, we have navigated a great deal already in 2026—an eLearning day, challenging moments that required care, class selection for next year, and our first Saturday School opportunity of the calendar year. Through each of these experiences, your engagement, flexibility, and commitment to your child’s growth have been evident and deeply appreciated.
Middle school is a time of growth, reflection, and learning how to navigate increasingly complex academic and social expectations. Our shared commitment—to set high expectations while staying beside students as they learn how to meet them—makes a meaningful difference. Whether that support shows up through conversations at home, consistent communication with school, or reinforcing expectations around behavior, effort, and accountability, it all matters.
I am also incredibly grateful for our staff, who show up each day with care, consistency, and high expectations for our students. Their work—often behind the scenes—helps ensure students feel supported while being challenged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
As we look ahead, we are excited about opportunities for our community to come together in celebration of our students. One upcoming highlight is our Unified Basketball home game on Thursday, February 5, at 3:30 p.m. We are inviting our entire RedHawk community to pack the stands for a “white out” in support of our athletes.
Unified Basketball is a Special Olympics program where our Special Olympians and student buddies play together, showcasing teamwork, inclusion, and athleticism. This event reflects the very best of who we are as a school community. Following the Unified game, families are welcome to stay and cheer on our 8th grade girls basketball team, who will take the court immediately after.
Thank you for trusting us with your children, for partnering with us during both smooth and challenging moments, and for continuing to show up for our students each day. When families and schools work together, our students are better positioned to learn, reflect, and thrive.
We look forward to continuing this important work—and celebrating together—throughout the remainder of the school year.
With appreciation,
Francesca Favero, Wredling Principal

WMS PTO Wants Your Help!
RedHawk Reminders
Parking Lot Expectations
It’s important that families avoid parking or waiting in the front lot during arrival and dismissal at Wredling. When cars stop there, staff lose access to parking, substitutes can’t enter, and traffic slows down—delaying buses and students from getting into the building on time. Our goal is simple: to keep everyone safe and ensure all students and staff have maximum time in the classroom. Every small effort helps! Please take a moment to review our arrival and dismissal expectations here.
At dismissal, students should walk to the Norris Center for pickup. Families waiting in the front lot will be asked to move to Norris, as this area needs to stay clear for buses and safe student movement. Please DO NOT enter the front circle after 2:15 (1:15 on Wednesdays) as our buses arrive intermittently and you may get blocked in.
Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal smooth and safe for everyone!
Outside Food Practice
Parents, please review these expectations with your child. Thank you for helping us ensure our school day runs smoothly with minimal disruption!
Parents are welcome to drop off food/beverages only for their own child
- All parent deliveries should be brought to the main office.
- Food and beverages may only be provided for your individual student. Ex: a pizza cannot be purchased for a group of students.
We WILL NOT accept or sign for delivered food/beverages for students.
If an emergency situation requires you to send something for your student, please contact the main office with details so they don't turn away the delivery driver. 331-228-3700
WMS Student Athletes... In addition to the above expectations:
You are encouraged to send them to school with a second lunch/snack. Their day can be long!
The "Snack Shack" in the Cafeteria will be open on Wednesday afternoons during the early release time for the athletes to grab a snack using their lunch account.

Project Dance Bloom
This awesome dance party is a public event and will take place in the small gymnasium at St. Charles North High School. The Project Dance proceeds support organizations within our district and our community that involve individuals with Special Needs. We provide a safe and comfortable environment where anyone and everyone is invited, no special attire is needed!
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!
Interested in a new challenge?
St. Charles Aquatics Diving is a great opportunity for students to learn an exciting Olympic sport while building strength, confidence, and body control. Gymnasts, cheerleaders, and athletes of all kinds are perfect candidates to try out and join the team, but no prior diving experience is required — beginners are welcome! Athletes will learn proper technique in a safe, supportive environment led by experienced coaches. Diving is a fun way to stay active, make new friends, and develop skills that carry over to other sports.
Practices are at the Norris Recreation Center and St. Charles North High School based on the group. Spots for lessons, diving team and high school team are available! Registration is open through all of January, so make sure you get signed up by going to the St. Charles Aquatics Website or reaching out to Coach Andrew with questions.
