WMS Friday Forecast
March 27, 2026
Dear RedHawk Families
Dear WMS Families,
As we head into Spring Break, it’s a wonderful moment to pause and celebrate how far our students have come this school year. Each day, they show up, put in the effort, and continue to grow—academically, socially, and personally. It’s easy to miss just how much they’ve changed when we’re in the rhythm of daily routines, but this time of year offers a great opportunity to reflect on that growth.
Our students truly do grow up so fast. The small moments—conversations at the dinner table, rides to practice, even the everyday routines—are often the ones that matter most. Whether your Spring Break is filled with travel, sports tournaments, catching up on tasks at home, or simply a chance to slow down and sleep in, I encourage you to take a moment to breathe it all in.
When we return, we will continue with IAR testing in Math. We are proud of the effort our RedHawks have shown so far and know they will continue to demonstrate their perseverance and show what they know. Ensuring students are well-rested and present each day will help them do their very best.
We are so proud of the perseverance, resilience, and commitment our RedHawks demonstrate each day. Thank you for your continued partnership and support in helping them succeed.
Wishing you a restful and meaningful Spring Break filled with moments that matter.
Chromebook Damage
A note to our parents about Chromebooks - We are seeing an uptick in Chromebook damage at the middle school. These situations are not simply the result of normal wear and tear, but in many cases involve intentional damage to screens and keyboard components. We ask that you please take a moment to speak with your student about your expectations for the care and responsible use of their device. While Chromebooks can sometimes be a challenge, they are an essential tool for learning each day. Please note that charges are being assessed for damages.
Guidelines and Student Language
Our Guidelines for Success will always serve as the foundation for how our RedHawks “do business” at Wredling. Recently, we have seen an uptick in inappropriate language, including racially charged statements, within our building. We want to be clear that this type of language is not tolerated and does not align with our shared expectations.
At Wredling, we strive each day to ensure that students Show Respect, Make Responsible Choices, and Stay Safe. Language that harms others or diminishes their dignity goes directly against these principles and the environment we are committed to maintaining.
We ask for your continued partnership in having reflective conversations at home about how students represent themselves at school and the impact their words can have on others. Our goal is to ensure that Wredling remains a safe, respectful, and inclusive space for everyone.
Students will be continuing IAR Testing with the Math sections on Tuesday, April 7th, Wednesday, April 8th, and Thursday, April 9th the week after Spring Break.
Please make sure they come to school with the following:
- fully charged chromebook
- wired earbuds (no wireless earbuds)
- having had a good breakfast & good night's sleep.
We will be following alternative schedules on each of our testing dates. CLICK HERE for the schedule.
It is important that your student arrive on time to school each day, but especially during testing. All students who arrive at school after testing has begun will be held in an alternative location for the rest of that day's testing window. They will make up the test at a different time.
WMS Summer Athletic Camps
As you know, summer is just around the corner and we are busy planning our summer athletic camps. Our camps will offer a variety of opportunities for students to improve their skills and have fun in different sports! All summer athletic camps will be facilitated by the District 303 coaches. Students will participate in a variety of skill-building activities and will be introduced to the same plays and philosophies that they will use when participating in sportsmanship!

👉Registration is now open on SNAP!

A REMINDER FROM THE NURSE’S OFFICE
Illinois State law requires that all children entering Kindergarten, second, sixth and ninth grade will have an oral health examination. A licensed dentist must perform the dental exam and he/she shall sign and date the report form. The dental examination form can be obtained on the D303.org website (under Forms) or by contacting your child’s school and requesting a dental exam form. Here is the link to the district dental form. [001] Dental Form.pdf
The rationale for these grades being identified as requiring the examination is that these are the ages at which sealants are applied to children’s teeth.
The Illinois Department of Public Health has established a waiver for children who show undue burden or lack of access to a dentist. Parents or legal guardians who object to the dental examinations on religious grounds shall present to the school a signed, detailed statement of the objection.
If you have any questions, please contact the health office at 331-228-3710. You can email your child’s form to wms-nurses@d303.org
Sincerely,
The Wredling Health Office Team

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!
