WMS Summer Newsletter

Temporary student drop-off / pick-up loop: For student tours and for the start of the school year, all passenger vehicle student drop-off and pick-up traffic will enter the school site from Washington Street, take the first right before reaching the new building, and proceed around to the drop-off / pick-up point for students. Vehicles will then exit on East Street. We ask that parents/guardians kindly follow the directions given by personnel on-site to guide traffic.

Temporary bus exit road: At the start of the school year, all bus traffic will enter the school site from Washington Street, proceed to the left of the new building, and drop off or pick up students at the paved walkway that leads to the main entrance of the school.

Walkers/bike riders: The pedestrian paths off East St. and Washington St. will be complete for walkers and bike riders for the first day of school.

We are excited to welcome our students for tours next week! We can't wait to see their excitement as they take theri first steps into our wonderful new space. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with their new environment and build connections within their team. Students will be able to enjoy a provided snack with peers. If your child is unable to attend their designated tour, please do not worry. We will ensure all students are acclimated to the building on the first day of school.
