As part of our School of Excellence process, we will be conducting a series of surveys over the next six weeks. Each week, a new survey will be available. Please note that not all surveys are specifically designed for parents, and you might come across questions that don't apply to your perspective, and that's perfectly okay! We still encourage you to offer feedback where possible.

If you're unsure how to answer a particular question, simply select the option "N" (No basis for judgment). Your input is invaluable, and every bit of feedback helps make this process more meaningful.

Thank you for your support and involvement in helping us grow and improve!

Pictures were delivered and should have come home with your student today! Was your child decked out in Royal Gear for picture day today?? No worries, picture retake day is November 1st! If you are interested in purchasing both a royal pride picture and a typical school picture you are able to do so.

Conferences are just around the corner and we are looking for help to feed our staff for their long day at WMES. Please click on the link below to sign up to bring something for our sandwich bar.

The Minnesota Free School Meals Program is now permanent!

• What does this mean? Students can receive their first standard breakfast and lunch for FREE!
• What do I need to remember? If students go back for a second full meal, additional entrees, side items, or a la carte, these DO cost extra based on the item. If your child has permission to get extras, please be sure that there is money in their lunch account. This includes milk to accompany any home lunches.

HERE is the link for the updated cost of full second breakfast, lunch, and the approximate costs of a la carte items.

Have You Applied for Educational Benefits?

Even though the Minnesota Free Meals Program is permanent, we strongly encourage families to apply to see if you are eligible for educational benefits through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Educational benefit applications (Free and Reduced applications) impact the educational funding that our schools receive and can affect other additional fees.

HERE is the link to our website to learn about how you can apply!
