What's new with Watkins Middle?
A weekly reflection and preview of all things WMS
New Building information
- Reminder that students are off Monday 10/24 & Tuesday 10/25 in conjunction with the move.
- We were unable to print off updated schedules to give to students prior to leaving due to programming issues with our learning management system. Student schedules with updated room numbers, locker numbers, and combinations are all visible on progress book at this time.
- The self guided tour during open house will also include a building map with teacher names listed for easy accessibility while students walk their schedule.
- During the 1st day back, Wednesday 10/26, students will report directly to the gymnasium where they will be debriefed and sent with their homeroom teachers. The student day will be modified to provide students with a tour of the new facility.
New Pick-up/Drop off routes (See image below)
With the move to the new facility the car rider drop off line will change. Please make note of the following:
- Parents should enter the second entrance off of Warrior way and follow the one way traffic.
- Parents should not park and go against the flow of traffic.
- Cars should all exit towards the back of the building (west end), and may travel in either direction.
- Car traffic will be stopped to allow buses to enter and exit.
- All car rider's will enter the building in the 600 hall entrance (denoted by red star).
- All bus rider's will enter through the main entrance (denoted by gold star).
- During school hours parents may park near any areas marked red. Staff parking is in green. No parent should park in the bus loop during arrival or dismissal.
