From Principal Favero
Dear Wredling Families
As we move closer to winter break, we want to take a moment to recognize all the great learning happening at Wredling—despite the many seasonal distractions making their appearance. Over the past few weeks, our students have shown great i-Ready growth, stronger homework completion, and high levels of engagement across classrooms. They are asking thoughtful questions, leaning into discussions, and demonstrating real perseverance as they work toward their goals. We are incredibly proud of their progress, and now our focus is on helping them maintain that momentum as we finish quarter 2 and the first semester strong.
Families play a huge role in supporting these positive habits. Setting aside a consistent time at home for schoolwork, studying, or reviewing notes can help students stay grounded as finals approach. We fully understand this time of year is filled with playing in the snow, festive activities, and family traditions—many of which are wonderful and important. Even so, carving out a small, predictable block of academic time can make all the difference in helping students feel confident and prepared.
This season also brings excitement and opportunities to celebrate, which we welcome. We simply ask that students celebrate in ways that honor our school expectations and our community. For example, gift exchanges—while fun—are best kept outside of school. Not all students have access to the same resources, nor are all students included in every exchange, and we want everyone to feel comfortable and supported.
We’d also like to share a quick reminder about lunchtime expectations. Students’ lunches should remain for their own individual use, and we ask that families avoid sending food intended for sharing. This helps us respect each parent’s choices and keeps all students safe, particularly those with food allergies.
Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering a caring, inclusive, and academically focused environment. We truly appreciate your support as we help our students finish the semester strong.
Proud to be a RedHawk

Parents are welcome to drop off food/beverages only for their own child
- All parent deliveries should be brought to the main office.
- Food and beverages may only be provided for your individual student. Ex: a pizza cannot be purchased for a group of students.
We WILL NOT accept or sign for delivered food/beverages for students.
If an emergency situation requires you to send something for your student, please contact the main office with details so they don't turn away the delivery driver. 331-228-3700
WMS Student Athletes... In addition to the above expectations:
You are encouraged to send them to school with a second lunch/snack. Their day can be long!
The "Snack Shack" in the Cafeteria will be open on Wednesday afternoons during the early release time for the athletes to grab a snack using their lunch account.
Unplugged & Tuned In
Please reinforce with your students that all cell phones should be in lockers and off throughout the day. By reinforcing this policy along with us, we are communicating to our students that we prioritize their learning when they are at school.
In cases of sickness or not feeling well, all students are expected to visit our nurses where we follow protocols and communicate with families. Thank you for your continued partnership.

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!
