🐺 Weekly Howl 🐺
What an incredible week we had! While the days were short, they were lively with students engaging in class and moving through campus with ease. While many of our students weren't sure where to go on the first day, by day three they were all pros moving through the campus with ease! If your student is still in need of a Chromebook, please have them tell their 1st period teacher.
We want to give a huge shout out to our dedicated PTSA who sponsored a beautiful breakfast for our teachers on Tuesday - they felt like absolute rock stars. This small and mighty group of parent volunteers is such an important part of our campus culture and we are grateful for their contributions. If you would like to be a part of this fantastic group, please visit their webpage here: WMMS PTSA.
We still have a large number of families who need to complete Data Confirmation and a few 7th grade families who need to provide proof of TDap Immunization. If you need help with either of these items, please stop by the main office so that we can provide you the assistance you need.
We are excited for all the things to come this year, and we are excited to have you as an important part of their middle school journey.
Have a wonderful weekend, Wolves!
