WMS Weekly Warrior
September 11, 2023
Good Afternoon Woodbury Middle School,
Last week was a challenging week to start our school year. The heat caused some changes to schedules, room assignments, and athletic practices. I praise the staff and students for managing a very uncomfortable week of extreme weather. Everyone managed the heat and followed the guidelines outlined in what was a great week. Thanks to everyone.
Hopefully, this week's weather is more comfortable as we will continue with fall practices and tryouts. Mr. McGrath has been notifying families of any schedule changes. If you need clarification, please feel free to call the office.
We have been very lenient with our dress code with the extreme heat. We want to remind students that the dress code will be instituted for any student violating this code. Students' midsections should be covered, and undergarments should not be exposed. School is a place for learning and professionalism. Please monitor your student's attire and ensure it is appropriate for school, not the pool or beach.
Our students have been reviewing our school-wide rubric and our Warrior Way. Teachers in each class discuss what the Warrior Way looks like in their classes. The rubric is shown below. We will continue to institute a multi-tiered intervention system to address behavioral concerns. If your student is asked to leave class for a behavioral problem, you will receive an email from our staff stating why. Please discuss these situations with your student, as you are an essential part of this process.
Open House is scheduled for Thursday, September 28th, at 6:00. Parents and guardians are invited to join us to meet the teachers, who will give a short presentation about our school programs and curriculum. Teachers will not discuss individual student performance; this is done at student conferences. If you have particular concerns regarding your student, please do not wait for conferences; contact the teachers, and they will address your concerns as soon as possible. Students should not attend the open house. A schedule for the open house will be sent soon.
Our counseling department asks that you open this link to their welcome letter and provide feedback through a short survey to help deliver a quality school counseling curriculum that aligns with your and your student’s needs.
Picture Day is scheduled for September 19th. The order form and information below can be printed using this link. Hardcopies are being sent home on Friday, September 15th.
Don’t forget the WMS school store is open for the latest spirit wear. Click the link here to order.
Have a great week,
