WMS Friday Forecast

Proud to be a RedHawk
Francesca Favero, Wredling Principal

Katie Legan works regularly in the Wredling cafeteria. She is an asset to our RedHawk Family and we are lucky she works here. Take a moment to read about her as the "Employee of the Month" in the Organic Life January Newsletter.

It’s important that families avoid parking or waiting in the front lot during arrival and dismissal at Wredling. When cars stop there, staff lose access to parking, substitutes can’t enter, and traffic slows down—delaying buses and students from getting into the building on time. Our goal is simple: to keep everyone safe and ensure all students and staff have maximum time in the classroom. Every small effort helps! Please take a moment to review our arrival and dismissal expectations here.

At dismissal, students should walk to the Norris Center for pickup. Families waiting in the front lot will be asked to move to Norris, as this area needs to stay clear for buses and safe student movement. Please DO NOT enter the front circle after 2:15 (1:15 on Wednesdays) as our buses arrive intermittently and you may get blocked in.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal smooth and safe for everyone!

Parents, please review these expectations with your child. Thank you for helping us ensure our school day runs smoothly with minimal disruption!

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.

SCN is a great place, but it’s also a big place. Peer Leadership (PL) hopes to make the transition to high school more comfortable and fun, while offering opportunities for growth.

The goals of Peer Leadership are to:

• Match incoming freshmen with selected upperclassmen mentors.

• Foster lasting friendships and bonds between the freshmen, their mentors, and the kids in their PL Groups.

• Improve freshmen self-confidence and self-advocacy.

• Prepare freshmen to become participants in clubs, sports, classes, and other activities at SCN.

• Prepare freshmen for future leadership roles.

PL Interest Form: St. Charles North

This awesome dance party is a public event and will take place in the small gymnasium at St. Charles North High School. The Project Dance proceeds support organizations within our district and our community that involve individuals with Special Needs. We provide a safe and comfortable environment where anyone and everyone is invited, no special attire is needed!

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!

St. Charles Aquatics Diving is a great opportunity for students to learn an exciting Olympic sport while building strength, confidence, and body control. Gymnasts, cheerleaders, and athletes of all kinds are perfect candidates to try out and join the team, but no prior diving experience is required — beginners are welcome! Athletes will learn proper technique in a safe, supportive environment led by experienced coaches. Diving is a fun way to stay active, make new friends, and develop skills that carry over to other sports.

Practices are at the Norris Recreation Center and St. Charles North High School based on the group. Spots for lessons, diving team and high school team are available! Registration is open through all of January, so make sure you get signed up by going to the St. Charles Aquatics Website or reaching out to Coach Andrew with questions.
