Our students have been doing a great job with the new personal technology rules. If students need to use the phone in the main office, the number is 651-425-4518. Pro tip: As parents, you can put that number into your cell phone so that you know it is the student line that is calling. Please know that most calls that being 651-425-XXXX will be from school.

The below message was sent out recently to all WMS students via Schoology:

Hello students! You have been doing awesome following our personal technology rules. Way to go WMS!

If you need to get in touch with your parents during the day for an emergency, please come to the main office or the counseling office and we will help you. We have a student phone here in the main office you can use. If for some reason you need more privacy for your conversation please just ask us.

Thanks again for doing an amazing job!

Sign your child up if they are interested in weightlifting. Please read the details in the sign up to make sure weightlifting if right for your child.

Starts: 10/3/24
Ends: 5/30/25
Days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
Time: MORNINGS - 6:30am - 7:15am

If you are planning on picking your student up early, please submit an absence request or make a phone call well ahead of the pickup time. By doing this, we can have your student ready when you arrive and it will prevent a back-up at the welcome desk. Thank you!!

Thanks to folks who have already donated to our Back to School Supply Drive. The PTO asks staff each year what is needed for supplies to help students. Each year, it's the same 3 things! So, we are sponsoring a Back to School Supply Drive focusing on Pencils, Kleenex, and Ear Buds (with jacks). Please consider donating in any of the following ways:

1. Donate online. All donations received between Sept 10 and Sept 27 will be used to purchase pencils, kleenex and ear buds. WMS Online Donation Link

2. Purchase items and drop off in the main office.

3. Order via Amazon or any other platform and have them shipped directly to the school! Please see our Amazon Wish List for ideas (these are only a few ideas - any pencils, ear buds with jacks, or facial tissue is welcome). Delivery address for the school is:
