WMS Friday Forecast
March 20, 2026
Dear RedHawk Families
With the start of the 4th quarter, there is a noticeable boost of energy here at WMS. This final stretch of the school year brings a number of exciting opportunities for our students—especially our 8th graders as they begin to celebrate the culmination of their middle school experience.
Our end-of-year activities are designed to be inclusive, meaningful, and centered on community. These are opportunities for all students to feel a sense of belonging and pride as we close out the year together. These moments reflect the positive culture we continue to build as a WMS community.
As we head into upcoming state testing, we want to take a moment to recognize how proud we are of our RedHawks. Our students have put in consistent effort all year long, and this is an opportunity for them to show what they know. We encourage all students to approach testing with perseverance, confidence, and a positive mindset—giving their best effort each day and trusting in the work they have done to get here.
We know our students are capable of finishing strong. Our goal is for each of them to do so not only academically, but also by continuing to demonstrate resilience and pride in their learning.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
Students will be taking the ELA sections of the IAR test on Monday and Tuesday next week. 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 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.
Everyone please join us THIS WEDNESDAY by the pond behind Wredling to cheer on our plungers, AND bring $5 for a bucket of water to get a favorite staff member wet!
Ms. Favero, Ms Szerlong, Ms Brummel, Ms Metcalfe, Nurse Abbs, Mr Nold, Mr LeClaire, Mr Hensel,

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!
