WMS Friday Forecast
October 24, 2025
Dear Wredling Families
This year at WMS we are going to allow costumes on Halloween Friday, October 31st because this falls on a school attendance day. Here are our guidelines:
Come to school ready to learn on Halloween, regardless of if you are wearing a costume or not.
All costuming must happen at home. That includes any hair or make-up.
With make-up, we need to be able to know who you are-no full face make-up.
The costume must be school appropriate.
No masks or inflatable costumes allowed for students.
No carrying around anything extra. (ex. props, fake weapons, scythes, clubs, dolls, etc.)
You will be changing for PE. Teachers are expected to teach that day, though they may have Halloween themed lessons.
There will be no Halloween parties. Or candy. Or other treats. Because you will get enough junk at night if you trick or treat.
After Halloween, you can only bring a couple of pieces of candy per day. In the wise words of Mr. Loversky, if you bring more, I will get it and I will eat it. And I don't need any more candy. And please, throw out your trash.
Proud to be a RedHawk

WMS Drop Zone
The WMS Drop Zone is a place where parents can “drop” off items that a student might have forgotten at home. Our goal is to maximize student learning time and reduce in-class interruption. The Drop Zone should be used infrequently. We want students to learn that there are natural consequences for forgetting items too often.
WMS Drop Zone Guidelines:
Students will not be called out of class for items brought to the school; they need to check the Drop Zone if they have forgotten an item.
All items must be labeled with the student’s name.
Expected Drop Zone items include: a project, instrument, uniform, or lunch. A good rule of thumb is if the item is important to the student’s health or learning.
Note: When phones are being dropped off for a student, they will be held in the main office until the end of the day.
We encourage students to be responsible for bringing everything to school that he/she will need for the day. Packing a backpack the night before can help with organization. The staff of Wredling Middle School is not responsible for any item left in the Drop Zone.
PapaNicholas & Write-A-Check Fundraiser
This Monday is our FIRST TURN IN (to the main office) for the PapaNicholas & Write-A-Check Fundraiser. Remember, we have a TON of raffle prizes! We will be drawing names from the students who turn in orders forms/checks on Monday. CLICK HERE for a replacement order form!
Get an early start on your Holiday Shopping!
Gifts for the holiday should include PapaNicholas Coffee, Tea, and Hot Chocolate! And when you buy some PapaNicholas, you support the Wredling PTO and the many great things they do!
Go to Papa Coffee Fund®, and put your items in your basket. When you are ready to checkout, simply put the name and team of your RedHawk (ex. Joe Smith 7-2) under the “Special Instructions” box and under “Organization” drag down to Wredling Middle School (the last name on the list).Note that online orders have a small shipping charge but come right to your house. Orders completed on paper will come to WMS for pick up early December.
Please share this post with your family and friends!
Getting a Message to Your RedHawk
We understand that there may be an occasion when you need to get a message to your child during the school day. Our goal is to reduce interruptions to the school day while also making sure your child is safe. With that in mind, please use these guidelines when you need to get a message to your child:
Plan ahead whenever possible: By letting your child know the schedule for the next day, you should be able to minimize the need for a message.
Sending a message should be infrequent and only done when the information is important to your child’s safety or in an emergency.
Send the message early! When we receive a call from you asking for a message to be sent, we will send it to all of your child’s teachers from that period forward. While we encourage teachers to check their email frequently, we cannot guarantee that your child will receive the message.
If an urgent message must get to your child immediately, we will use our school’s paging system to call into a classroom. Our aim is to do this very rarely so as to not interrupt learning.
RedHawk Pride Awards
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, if they haven't already done so. 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.

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!
STC Public Library Food Drive
D303 is supporting the St. Charles Public Library with their Community Cabinet Food Drive. Please bring your non-perishable donations to your student's school anytime October 14-31. Thank you for helping take care of our community!
