WMS Friday Forecast
August 29, 2025
Dear RedHawk Families,
Another exciting week has come and gone in our 2025–2026 school year! The time we share with our students moves quickly, and while some weeks feel faster than others, we truly treasure each day spent building connections, supporting growth as learners, and helping them discover their potential.
In just these past two weeks, students have embraced what it means to be a RedHawk, made new friends, navigated lockers, and successfully managed four different schedules (two i-Ready schedules, early release, and our regular one!). Along the way, there have been both challenges and successes—but through it all, our students continue to show resilience and grit. They are diving into curriculum, reading poetry, exploring math transformations, conducting experiments, and so much more. We are incredibly proud of their energy, effort, and enthusiasm for learning.
A heartfelt thank-you to all of our families who joined us for Back to School Night this past Tuesday and Wednesday. These evenings gave teachers the chance to connect with you and share the exciting topics your children will explore this year. We are so grateful for your time, partnership, and support. At Wredling, we believe our school is a community—students, families, and staff all working together to ensure our learners thrive. If you have any follow-up questions from Back to School Night, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to your child’s teachers.
Enjoy the long weekend with your families—we look forward to welcoming our RedHawks back, rested and ready, next week!
Proud to be a RedHawk,
Francesca Favero, Principal

Attendance Interventions & Actions
Picture Retakes
If you are unable to attend either Material Pick Up Day, we have a Picture Retake Day scheduled for Thursday, September 11th. There will be a different order form and code for that date, which will be publicized in our Friday Forecast prior to retakes.
Safety Day: Tuesday, September 9th
Before Safety Day and on September 9th, all students will have a lesson on Safety Day purpose and procedures. Safety Day drills will cover: fire drills, severe weather, and a lock down drill. If you have any questions about Safety Day or would like your student to opt-out of the lock down drill, please email: melissa.hickman@d303.org no later than Friday, September 5th at 3pm. We will arrange an alternate place for your student during the drill.
