My School Bucks

As we settle into our new school year, please take time to explore our online School Store and load your student's meal account, and pay for your student’s school fees online at MySchoolBucks.com. If their account has fees that are due, you can securely pay for them using your credit/debit card or an e-check.

If you need assistance with your account, you can find helpful how-to videos and answers to commonly asked questions by visiting myschoolbucks.com. Or, you can contact MySchoolBucks directly by logging into your account to start a chat conversation or give them a call at (855) 832-5226.

Attendance Matters!

If your student is going to be absent please call the main office at 402-408-8649 by 9:00am.

If you need to call your student out for an appointment please call the office at least 30 minutes prior to pick up time. The student will wait for you in the main office, once they see you they will sign out in the main office and come out to the circle drive.

If your student is not feeling well, they will need to go through the Health office.

It is extremely important for your student to be at school and on time everyday! WMS attendance goal this year is, all students miss 9 or less days.
