Hi WMS Families,

The first week of school went great! We had fun, learned a ton, and kids are getting the hang of their new grade or their new school. Administrators met with each grade level to get them excited about the school year, outline our behavioral expectations, and detail what it takes to make a warm and welcoming community. We couldn't be more excited to get this year underway. Please take a chance to look at our new "family guide" below, to get answers to tons of questions.

Go Eagles!

Mr. Giacobozzi

Principal

Click on the button below to see a list of this term's clubs and activities.

We pride ourselves on wanting feedback from our families. To this end, we will be taking on a large-scale project over the course of the first few months of school. We are committing to have staff from WMS call each and every family in our school community. It'll run like this: someone from the school will call to check in about how the year is going. While the person calling may not have all the answers, we are happy to listen and get back to you. Please don't feel pressured to chat. If you having nothing, we love to hear, "all good!" and keep it moving. If we miss you and get your voicemail, feel free to give us a call back. For those of you that have students at the high school, this may be familiar, as we did it last year.

Picture Day:

• September 18th
• Detailed information coming soon

Coffee with the Principal:

• Once a trimester, I host a “Coffee with the Principal” event! These will be announced via the this Newsletter. This is a great time for families to connect with myself and Associate Principal Duffy in an open-discussion format.

Principal's Newsletter:

• Similar to our other WPS schools, I send a weekly newsletter to inform families of important announcements, upcoming events, and exciting things happening at our school.

• At the bottom of each newsletter are links to individual clusters and specialized programs (Band, Orchestra, Nurse, etc) monthly newsletters.

• Included in each newsletter is a link to submit any feedback, questions, or concerns to the Principal.

Getting in Touch:

• We prioritize communicating often and openly with all of our families. Linked at the bottom of each newsletter is our "Who Should I Contact" document that will help you determine who the best point of contact is for all sorts of questions.

The below button will bring you to our new "Need to Know: WMS Family Guide". This guide includes all necessary and important information about WMS. It is a work-in-progress, so check back often to see the updates.
