WMS Friday Forecast

Wredling is looking for a few cafeteria supervisors! The hours for this position are 10:40 am - 2:00 pm on school days when students are in attendance. Perfect job for stay-at-home parents looking for a job while their own kids are at school. If you're interested contact Patricia Burton at: 331-228-5242 or by email at: patricia.burton@d303.org. Let her know Wredling sent you!

At Wredling, cell phones are expected to be off and away during the day. We do allow students to use them with permission to text or call a parent if a practice or club is canceled in the afternoon. But we have seen an increase of students texting their parents because they are unhappy about something that happened during the day, and they need a parent to reassure them or rescue them.

By middle school, we want our students to become strong self-advocates within our systems. That means going to a counselor, asking a teacher to come to the office to use a phone, or talking to another trusted adult. We are here to support your child during school hours.

We will start issuing detentions for students using their phones without permission during the school day. We have many people here at WMS to support your child during the day. Please reinforce this with your child at home.

The iReady Mid-Year Diagnostics for both reading and math will be conducted after Thanksgiving Break. Our testing schedule will be as follows:

Diagnostic makeups will take place on Wednesday, December 6th, Friday, December 8th, and Monday, December 11th from 8:40am - 11:00am. The information provided from this diagnostic will be used to identify student growth and help teachers plan for future instruction and will provide opportunities for students to work on their personal pathway. Please click here to access an informational letter from Mr. Dave Chizsar, the D303 Director of Assessment and Accountability. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s counselor for assistance. Have a wonderful weekend!
