Dear Wredling Families
As we head into this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to share how truly thankful I am to serve as the principal of Wredling Middle School. Every day, I am reminded what a privilege it is to work in a community that values learning, connection, and growth.
I am grateful for the opportunity to help facilitate powerful learning experiences for both our students and our staff. Watching our educators collaborate, innovate, and support one another is inspiring, and seeing our students engage, question, stretch their thinking, and celebrate their progress makes this work deeply meaningful.
Our Wredling students are nothing short of amazing. They are thoughtful and curious, creative and athletic, serious and silly—and everything in between. They make mistakes, they persevere, they laugh, they try again. They bring an energy to this building that makes every day different and every day worth it.
I often describe being principal at Wredling as a “get-to” job. Even when the days are challenging—and some certainly are—I still get to show up in a place I care deeply about, surrounded by people who inspire me. For that, I am profoundly thankful.
Thank you for sharing your children with us and for being partners in this work. It is an honor to serve this community.
Skip cooking at home and help out Wredling at the same time! Our fantastic PTO has scheduled our next "No Cook Night" fundraiser for TONIGHT, November 21st.
Wredling will recieve 20% from all IN-STORE purchases made at Panda Express on the EAST side of St. Charles will get 20%, provided you show the flyer. You can even show the flyer on your phone! What a tasty way to support Wredling!

Parents are welcome to drop off food/beverages only for their own child - not a group.
- All parent deliveries should be brought to the main office.

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

You are encouraged to send them to school with a second lunch/snack. Their day can be long!

Attention Parents of 6th Graders!
We’re excited to share that on Tuesday, December 9th from 3:00–4:00 PM, WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) will be hosting the final after-school event of the year — Breakout Box Adventures!
This fun, hands-on activity gives 6th graders the chance to work together, solve puzzles, and compete to “break out” before time runs out. Students will test their critical thinking skills, collaborate with peers, and enjoy some friendly competition — all while having a great time!
Students will also have the opportunity to win prizes and earn the title of Breakout Box Champions!
Permission slips are available from students’ team leaders, Student Services, or Linked HERE. Spots are limited to the first 50 participants, so please encourage your child to return their signed form as soon as possible. Permission slips are DUE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5TH.
We look forward to a fun and engaging event to wrap up the year!
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!
