• This past week students had the opportunity to learn about safety, procedures, and school spirit when attending sporting events at WMS and South High School from South High School Principal Andy Suttell, WMS AP Mrs. Johnson, and WMS Principal Mr. Greene. Collaboration between both schools supported all WMS students to assure they are prepared to have a safe and enjoyable experience during WMS and South High School sporting events. Safety is a top priority and we want to assure all students embrace the opportunity to enjoy watching and cheering on their family, friends, and classmates as they compete.

• WMS School Community, Thank you for your support with the morning drop off and after school pick up process. Our goal is to assure you can safely drop off and pick up your child at WMS. Please note the new signs located on the After School Pick Up line sidewalks asking for all pick up vehicles to pull up so we have room for vehicles entering the pick up area.

• This past week several WMS band students performed during the South High School home football game. They have been hard at work with Band Director Mr. Primavera over the past few months and had a chance to showcase their skills and talents on Friday night during the South football victory!

• Our middle school teams are off to a fantastic start and students are showing progress every day! Establishing team themes, planning of future field trips, and student support are a few of the many highlights of WMS teaming. Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner (9/12) and you will have an opportunity to learn more about the successes of teaming at WMS.

We had a great first meeting of the PTO this week with several new faces!

• There are three dances planned for this year! One full school dance this fall, a 6th/7th grade dance this winter, and the 8th grade dance in the spring (dates TBD)

• We are bringing back the Community Tailgate (hopefully in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! Food trucks, games, community tables, music and more!)

• The Safe School Helpline is a confidential reporting system for schools that allows students, parents, staff, and community members to report safety issues, wrongdoing, and potential threats. The helpline is available 24/7/365 and can be contacted by phone, text, web, or mobile app.
  

As we seek to effectively communicate with families, we wanted to share some exciting news with those who use our district-provided bus service. We have available the BusZone Tracker App that will allow parents and guardians to securely view the location of all of their child(ren)’s bus locations in relation to their assigned bus stop. This application enables parents and guardians to view multiple stops on an assigned route, including the scheduled arrival time for each stop. The service is free of charge to parents/guardians and provided at no additional cost to the school districts serviced by Petermann. Use of the application is voluntary.

• You can get more information, sign-up and create your secure login to use the application on your smart phone by viewing the flyer link. To sign up, please review the BusZone Parent Flyer with Access Code. You will need to download the BusZone app, and create an account. The access code is on the flyer. The access code is: 6407WESD.
