WMS Friday Forecast

It is time to put some dates on the calendar! On September 5th and 6th we invite parents to our "Back to School Night" to get to meet your child's teachers. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about how their teachers operate, what they expect of your child, and how you can partner together with our teachers.

I strongly encourage you to put "Back to School Night" dates on the calendar. It is when educators partner with parents that we can do great things for kids!

• Tuesday, September 5th at 6:30 pm - 7th & 8th Grade Parents/Guardian
• Wednesday, September 6th at 6:30 pm - 6th Grade Parents/Guardians

Your child should be bringing home a schedule for you to follow, but I am adding a blank one here for you to print at home. Please note that some classes will meet in Large Group Locations. (PE/Health, Explore, World Language) and are listed at the bottom of each page.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy your weekend!

1) My Student DID NOT get their school photo taken at Material Pick-Up

If your student did NOT get their school picture taken at Material Pick-Up either August 1st or August 2nd, they will be taken on Monday, Aug 28th during the morning at school. We will call the students down. The portraits are pre-pay and the site closes at Midnight on Monday, August 28th. After that date, you will need to contact Color Portraits directly to order and there will be an additional charge for shipping to your home. The order form and event code is below.

2) My Student DID get their school photo taken at Material Pick-Up & I ordered pictures

Your photo order was given to your student TODAY in either period 1 or period 2. If you choose to have a picture retake you will need to return the original photo package. Your student MUST bring the photo package with them on August 28th to the photographer in order to get their picture retaken.

3) My student DID get their school photo taken but I DID NOT order

Your student received a preview photo on a small calendar TODAY in either period 1 or period 2 - Be sure to ask your student for it. If you like the preview and would like to order prints, follow the directions on the calendar to order.

In an effort to support student learning in the area of written expression, students will take ThinkCERCA, an online writing assessment and intervention, to provide a Benchmark Assessment three times a year at both middle schools. Our first benchmark will be next week.

Student data and feedback will be shared with students to set goals for learning during the school year. The writing information will also help teachers plan instruction to support student growth and achievement.

The assessment consists of two 30 minute sessions in which students read a text, answer multiple choice questions, and complete a written response to a provided prompt. The first benchmark assessment will be administered in your student’s Language Arts class and is scheduled during the window August 28 - August 31.

Just a reminder to send in your child's supplies, especially things like facial tissue, Post-It Notes, Glue Sticks, and those common supplies your student’s classrooms will use all year long. Our expectation is that each student brings in these supplies as they are not purchased by our teachers.

Please send in those supplies this week in order to help us get this school year going full speed!

In D303, we value the opportunity to provide a community of care and support to our families, especially those faced with financial hardship. If your family is experiencing a significant financial need, our community partnerships have several supports available for families, including school clothes/shoes, winter coats/accessories, school supplies, toiletries, holiday meals, and holiday gifts. If you would like to be considered for any of these supports, please complete the Family Resource Form by September 1, 2023.

Creativity Needed!

Mr.Loversky is looking for a parent (or two) who have some creativity to help us get some photos into our wall frames, along with adding some spirit banners. If you work for a printing company or you have a good eye for this sort of thing, then we need your help. Contact Principal Loversky at tim.loversky@d303.org.

Do You Have a Tree Contact?

We have a large piece of property with very few trees on it, and we would like to add a few additional trees. Some of our classes or teams would like to work on this arbor project. If you are someone who can help us out, please contact Principal Loversky at tim.loversky@d303.org.

• Here is a list of all of our Team Leaders, Admin, and Student Support Team members who will support your child. Please keep this link handy for future reference.

• You can also use our Staff directory located on the right hand side of the Wredling Website.

• So who do I contact for my concern???
  While there are always some exceptions, the general rule of thumb is to email or call:

  • Emotional issues - Counselors

  • Disciplinary issues - Student Services Coordinators (Deans)

  • School work issue - Teachers

• In general, if your child needs support, start with the teacher and then the team leader. If you still need help, move to the Assistant Principals (academics) or Student Support Coordinators (Deans) (behavioral).
  

• If you email Tim Loversky (principal) he may forward your email to the right person to handle the issue. Please do not be offended when he does this. The goal is to expedite getting the issue attended to as promptly as possible.

Parents and students- if you have photos you would like to share with the yearbook club to be considered for this year's edition of the yearbook (clubs, concerts, games, first day of school, spirit days, etc.)
