WMS Friday Forecast

Proud to be a RedHawk

Francesca Favero, Principal

Next Wednesday, 5/27, being our final school day of the 2025-2026 school year. We will be following our Early release bell schedule.

We know that many families will be departing early to travel. Keep in mind our teams will be participating in a variety of activities on the Wredling campus. On days such as this, it can take a significant time to locate students, have them get their belongings, and arrive in the office, so please plan accordingly.

Please help us out by following our plan for early dismissal. If you plan to pull your child from school early during any school day, please send them to the main office with a note first thing in the morning to help us prepare for early dismissal.

The note should include the following:
Name of Student
ID#
Planned Pick Up Time
Who’s picking up the student (they must present their driver’s license at pick up.)

The office will generate a digital hall pass for your student 5 minutes before your planned pick up time. This will allow them to inform their teacher that they have a pass and come to the office for pick up.

Blast off into a summer full of reading and participate in our Thompson/Wredling Summer Reading Launch! From May 28 to August 19, track your reading journey on our bookmark through the galaxy.

Most weeks we will be handing out some RedHawk Pride Awards. Below is the list of our RedHawk Pride Award recipients which will be in Monday's announcements. Recipients can pick up their award in the Wredling Main Office on Monday during their Tutorial.

This award is given by our teachers for a variety of reasons, from following our Guidelines for Success to Academic Achievement and Growth. We are proud of our RedHawks who work hard every day.

Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe we are at the end of the school year already. We would like you to be aware of the following procedures for medications in the health office.

1. All medications must be picked up by an adult over the age of 18 prior to the last day of school. The only medications we can send home with students are epinephrine pens, inhalers, and diabetes supplies.

2. We ask that all medication be picked up prior to May 26, 2026.

3. Any medications that are not picked up by 2 PM on Wednesday May 27th, will be disposed of by the health office. We do not keep medications in the health office during the summer break.

School Physicals for the 2026-2027 School Year

🚨Students entering 6th grade must submit evidence of a State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form . 6th graders are required to have one dose of the Tdap vaccine and one dose of the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) on or after their 11th birthday. Also, students entering the 6th grade must submit evidence of a dental examination completed within 18 months prior to May 15th of that school year. Students who are entering 9th grade will also need the Certificate of Child Health examination form. Those forms should be submitted to their appropriate high school.

If your student is entering an Illinois school for the first time, evidence of a physical examination and a complete record of immunizations must be submitted within 30 days of their first day of school.

We will need evidence of the physical and immunizations, or proof of an appointment by October 1, 2026. Our email is Wms-Nurses@d303.org. Our fax number is 331-228-3707. If this number does not work, fax your paperwork to the main office at 331-228-3701.

If your student is entering an Illinois school for the first time, evidence of a physical examination and a complete record of immunizations must be submitted within 30 days from their first day of school.

Medications

If your student requires any medication during school the school day, we will need updated orders for any medication, inhaler, or epinephrine

We understand how meaningful memory books (such as Oh, the Places You’ll Go!) are for students and families. These are truly special keepsakes that hold years of memories, and we want to help ensure they remain safe and in your care.

Given the size of our building, the number of shared spaces, and the schedules of traveling staff, it is very difficult to reliably track items as they move from person to person. Unfortunately, we have had instances in the past where books were misplaced and never recovered, and we know how disappointing that can be for families.

With that in mind, the office is not able to manage or circulate memory books for signatures, and we kindly ask that staff not be asked to take on this responsibility. If you would like your child’s memory book signed, we recommend sending it with your child so they can connect directly with teachers.

Another option to help keep these treasured mementos safe and the process manageable, we encourage families to limit requests to 1–2 teachers and, when possible, coordinate with a team leader or a preferred staff member rather than submitting a list through the office.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us protect these special memories

Superintendent Dr. Paul Gordon shared an update this week on the School Board’s discussion of the Final Report submitted by the D303 Communitywide Education Facilities Committee.

D303 launched a communitywide Facilities Survey this week. As the Board considers potential facilities investments, we want input from all community members on this key question: What do you want your schools to look like and do for our students over the next 30 years?

And to help the community understand the current state of D303 facilities, Dr. Gordon shared a video recap of the Facilities Committee’s work and findings. Please take a little bit of time to watch the video and make your voice heard by taking the survey!

El superintendente, el Dr. Paul Gordon, compartió esta semana información actualizada sobre las discusiones de la Junta Educativa en torno al informe final presentado por el Comité Comunitario de Instalaciones Educativas del Distrito 303.

El D303 ha puesto en marcha esta semana una encuesta comunitaria sobre las instalaciones. Ahora que la Junta Educativa está valorando posibles inversiones en instalaciones, queremos conocer la opinión de todos los miembros de la comunidad sobre esta cuestión clave: ¿Cómo te gustaría que fueran tus escuelas y qué te gustaría que ofrecieran a nuestros estudiantes durante los próximos 30 años?

Para ayudar a la comunidad a comprender el estado actual de las instalaciones del D303, el Dr. Gordon ha compartido un vídeo resumen del trabajo y de las conclusiones del Comité de Instalaciones. Tómate unos minutos para ver el vídeo y ¡haz oír tu voz participando en la encuesta!

The latest episode of the Voices of D303 podcast includes visits to Wild Rose Elementary School and North High School, to give the community a firsthand look at facilities challenges faced every day by D303 students, staff, and families. Check out this clip with North High School Athletic Director Joe Benoit.

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!
