Good Afternoon Woodbury Middle School,
We are in for a busy stretch of school this week. NWEA testing continues on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please remind students to charge Chromebooks each night. Friday is the Valentine's dance (6-8), sponsored by our Alliance leadership team. Tickets are five dollars and must be bought in advance on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in the cafe. No tickets will be sold at the door. A letter with pick-up and drop-off information will be sent out later in the week.
Sunday, February 11th, is our Superbowl pancake breakfast. Tickets for the breakfast are also five dollars and can be bought in advance. Tickets at the door are seven dollars. Donations are still needed and can be sent to school with students or dropped off at the main office.
The items in need of are:
· Large aluminum trays
· Aluminum foil
· Pancake Mix (complete, just add water)
· Mini Chocolate Chips
· Syrup
· Ground Coffee (Regular Only)
· Tea
· Sugar packets
· Orange Juice
· Cups (hot – 12 oz. or larger please)
· Plastic Utensils (forks, knives, spoons)
· Frozen brown and serve sausages
Both boys and girls have basketball games on Tuesday vs. Thomaston. The girls travel to Thomaston, and the boys are at home. The season ends Thursday with a doubleheader at Rochambeau.
We want to update you on the December incidents in the 8th-grade boys' bathroom. Our school resource office, along with the Woodbury Police, investigated the incidents extensively. Video and handwriting samples were examined, and the school administration questioned students. Currently, we do not have a definitive person identified as the perpetrator. Our SRO will continue to investigate, and we welcome any information students may be able to share about the incidents.
Since the events occurred, 8th-grade students had an opportunity to discuss the incident with Officer Marsh during his annual visit. Our teachers participated in a refresher training on school safety procedures and the whole school practiced a safety drill. The 8th-grade boys’ bathroom remains closed , and students are using the bathroom outside the main office.
WMS will continue to prioritize safety, and we welcome any information anyone would like to share regarding these events. We will continue to monitor this incident and keep you informed if new information becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we move on with the school year.
Sadly, we want to share that WMS lost a long-time staff member and friend. Theresa Basile, who worked in our cafeteria for many years, passed away last Friday. We want to express our deepest sympathy to her family, friends and all the students she impacted in a positive way at WMS. May she rest in peace.
Have a great week,
WMS Admin
