Middle families,
If you have a student in both elementary and middle school, you will need to pick them up individually at their respective campuses. They will not be able to meet at one of the campuses together. This is for the safety and supervision of all of our students.
Thank you in advance for your help with this.

WMS is excited to welcome our students back tomorrow! Just a couple of reminders:
1. Drop off/doors open at 7:25. We know the first few days will take longer than normal due to increased traffic. No tardies will be taken during this beginning time.
2. Car rider line in the afternoon can begin lining up at 2:30 pm. We will start dismissing at 3:10 pm. Again, due to the volume of traffic on the first few days, this process will take longer than normal. We appreciate your patience.
3. Bus pick up and drop off at home will take longer these first few days.
4. The weather is forecast to be hot. We will most likely be inside for recess. Also, we have water bottle filling stations in every hallway if students wish to bring a water bottle to school. These are for water only. No other drinks are allowed in them.
5. Please make sure your student knows how they are getting home. The best way to communicate that with us is to send a note with the student tomorrow.
It's going to be a great year!
