We Are A.R.M.Y. Strong!!
Our vision is to ensure that all students are WMS ARMY Strong and are prepared for high school, college and careers.
Please be checking with Students on their grades and homework completion. Many of the homework assignments show a green checkmark when they are completed. We are seeing many students starting assignments but we need to continue to improve the number of students completing assignments.
Washington Ave. Road Construction
The details from contractors:
As a follow up on a closure related to the Washington Avenue closure at Lodge Avenue for water main upgrades, the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility has requested I provide the information below related to the project.
Washington Avenue will close between Marshall Avenue and Brookside Drive on March 18, 2019 at 8:00 am. A detour route will be posted as noted below.
- Washington Avenue
- South on Marshall Avenue
- East on Madison Avenue
- North on Rotherwood Avenue to Washington
Lodge Avenue will be re-opened from Covert Avenue up to Madison, with the new closure area from Madison Avenue to Bayard Park. A detour route will be posted as noted below.
- Lodge Avenue
- East on Madison Avenue
- North on Rotherwood Avenue
- West on Bayard Park Drive to Lodge
It is encouraged for all thru traffic to avoid these areas, as congestion is likely. The road is scheduled to be re-opened by the end of the day, March 25, 2019 (weather dependent). Additional work will be required in the intersection in the next few weeks, with additional restrictions/closures to do so.
We will continue to keep you informed. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

"I See It, I Take It" Policy
8th Grade Recognition Ceremony Scheduled
The dress code: Ladies can wear dresses, skirts or dress pants. Dresses and skirts must be longer than finger tip length and shoulders must be covered. If girls are wearing dresses with tank tops or straps, they can cover shoulders with sweaters or jackets.
Gentlemen are encouraged to wear dress shirts and ties or bow ties. Jackets and suits are encouraged.
Parking: Parking will be limited to the football stadium parking lot along Highway 41. Please enter the doors that face Washington Avenue. The main parking lot will only be open for handicapped family members.
This is a formal event to honor the work of our students. We ask that you help us model appropriate and respectful behavior during this event by clapping respectfully and refraining from yelling as student names are being called. This is out of respect for all families, so they can also hear their child's name.
