A Message from Administration
What a great year to be a War Hawk! You have probably already noticed that we have some exciting changes in place for the school year. We have a new schedule that gives our students and teachers more time in our core classes (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies) while still providing students access to World Language instruction, participation in the Fine Arts, and access to other engaging Academic Connections classes. We have also added a number of new faces to our staff including our new Assistant Principal, Mrs. Cook. In addition we are continuing our work of building a positive, kind, and safe school culture through our work in Capturing Kids' Hearts. We are also moving forward in our digital journey with Code to the Future and the Dynamic Learning Project.
I encourage you to regularly talk to your students about what they are doing, reading, and learning at school. I invite you to visit us and see for yourself the great work your students and our teachers are doing. I welcome your calls, emails, and visits.
Together we are going to have a high flying year at WKMS.
Proud to be your principal,
Guy Smith

Could You Save Sam?
Students had to help Sam put his life saver on while only using paperclips AND being sure not to poke him. Try it at home. It's tougher than it seems.
