WRMS - Barks and Bites
Staff Edition
Sept. 16th - Sept. 20th
Hello Bulldog Families
This week we have several important updates.
It is hard to believe we have been in school for five weeks. At the end of this week, progress reports will be sent on with students. This is a great opportunity to reach out to teachers to set up a parent conference in case you have any concerns or questions regarding your student's progress.
Students will continue taking their beginning-of-year Math and ELA assessments using the new program Fastbridge. Please talk to your child about doing their best to provide accurate data. The results of these assessments will determine which students will be placed into Westblock, which is a remediation period during the school day to provide extra support for students who may need it with certain skills.
There has been a recent increase in breakage in student devices, or being unprepared to use their devices. Parents, please have a conversation with students regarding the importance of taking care of their device, and ensuring it is in working condition (which includes being charged) each day. Teachers work diligently to prepare engaging lessons that sometimes utilize iPads to enhance the educational experience of their students. Not having devices due to breakage, or lack of charge, negatively impacts the overall learning experience of the classroom.
A Few Reminders:
- School starts at 7:30 am. Students arriving late must be signed in at the front office by a parent
- Please check out the parents' newsletter weekly. It is packed with important links. It can be accessed in your email inbox, or via our schools webpage.
We cannot wait to see you again this week!

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Students are expected to be present and arrive on time to school. Students, who are car riders, are marked tardy after 7:30 am, and parents must escort the child into the building if arriving after 7:30 a.m. Students who are absent or tardy miss valuable instructional time and other important school activities and are less likely to master those skills, concepts, and principles needed for success.
