WMMS Tiger Times

Dear WMMS Families,

As we step into December, we reflect on a semester filled with growth, discovery, and community. Our students continue to amaze us with their dedication and determination, and your support plays a vital role in their success.

I invite you to explore this month’s newsletter, where you’ll find updates on school events, student achievements, and important reminders. We hope these highlights bring a sense of pride and connection to all that’s happening at our school.

As the holiday season approaches, may your homes be filled with warmth, joy, and togetherness. From all of us at WMMS, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year!

With gratitude,
Dr. Brandi VanDelft
Principal

Thank you to these students for joining our Principal Advisory Committee! Last month these students met with Dr. VanDelft to set our PBIS goals for the month of December based on last year's data. The PACs also discussed concerns they had, or that were brought to them by their peers or staff members, and together made a plan to uphold our PBIS expectations of being Respectful, Responsible and Safe. The students gave their PAC presentation to their advisory class this week.
