WMS Friday Forecast
March 22, 2024
From the Principal
Happy Friday!
Spring break is here and it is a great opportunity for some rest and relaxation for your RedHawk. Encourage them to go outside, play in the woods, ride a bike, get some ice cream, or do something that does not involve technology. Spring break is a time to recharge those batteries as we get ready for the final push to the end of the year.
Enjoy your break!

Saints Helping Hawks
***Due to IAR testing, there will be no SHH the weeks of April 1st and April 8th. We will resume on Tuesday April 16th***
Just a reminder that SHH is an afterschool tutoring program and an extension of our school day. ALL students must follow WMS Guidelines for Success.
Along with the Guidelines for Success, student are expected to:
- stay the entire time unless parent communication is provided
- must be seated with a tutor (even if they just need a quiet space to work)
- working quietly and not disturbing others
- stay off ALL technology during the session unless it is teacher approved
- to bring all necessary materials to the LRC so that they can use the work time appropriately.
There are no exceptions to these rules. If students are not following the above, they will be asked not to return to SHH. There has been an uptick in disruptive behaviors at SHH and we want to ensure this is a productive and positive environment for students. If you have any questions about SHH please reach out to Mrs. Batka, Ms. Brummel, Mrs. Gonzalez, & Mr. Vale.
It's not too early to start planning for your summer! D303 has a variety of course options and summer camps. Keep checking back as more camps will be added!

James and the Giant Peach Jr.
This adaptation of the classic novel by Roald Dahl follows the story of a boy named James as he embarks on an epic adventure in…a giant peach. James, neglected and mistreated by his aunts, is ordered to cut down the old fruit tree. Inside, he finds a magical potion that creates a gigantic peach. Leaving his gloomy life behind, James sets out on the ocean inside the peach. Inside, he meets a charming and quirky group of insects, and they all go together on a journey of danger, excitement, and self-discovery. From the mind that gave the world Matilda and Willy Wonka comes this story of friendship, courage, and believing in yourself.
