We are leveraging the proximity of WMS to WHS and bringing our 8th-grade students to visit their future high school at Moxley. Tours were led by Mr. Kraig Gustafson (8-12 Social Studies Coordinator) and Ms. Laura Alderson (Director of CTE). We have also collaborated with WHS through the use of departmental time in which teachers from the high school and middle school meet to discuss how to make our students transition seamless.

Diversity Night was a fun celebration of our community! Many school clubs and local organizations were represented. We had food, music, prizes, and a great time together! We love events like these that celebrate the rich and diverse community in which we live.

Students are seen enjoying the sunshine during recess. Our students always have the opportunity to move their bodies after lunch in our side yard.

Next week, caregivers will be receiving letters with their student’s recommended math placement for 8th grade. Students will be placed in either 8th grade math, Algebra, or 8th grade math with an Algebra WIN.The information below outlines the offerings for 8th grade math. The letter contains the student’s data, recommended math course for 8th grade, and contact information if caregivers would like to discuss or possibly change the math placement for their student.

It's almost the end of the year which means graduation is on the horizon for our 8th grade students! The 8th Grade Social Dance will be on June 13th at 6:00 pm at Watertown's Sons of Italy (520 Pleasant Street, Watertown). Graduation will take place on June 14th at 9:00 am in the WMS gym. Tickets are not required.

Please see the "May Events" section below for upcoming MCAS testing dates. On these dates, it is important to encourage your student to:

• charge their chromebook
• eat a healthy breakfast
• arrive in advisory promptly at 7:45 am for testing to begin

The information about busing is now live! The due date for caregivers to apply for busing is June 10th. After that, families will be added to a waitlist. Jaelyn Blair, Grants and Operations Manager for WPS, will be contacting all current bus riders with sign up information.
