Early Pick-Up Procedure

If a student needs to be released early for appointments, family trips, etc., parents/guardians are asked to notify the school that morning by emailing wwmsattendance@edison.k12.nj.us with the time and reason for the early pick up.

The parent/guardian will need to sign their student out with security at the scheduled time.

We ask that if you have to pick your child up early, you do so PRIOR to 2:30 pm.

The end of the day is a busy time in the building and we want to help limit disruptions both in the office, with security, and in the classroom calling in to locate students.

Parent Parking Lot Procedures

We understand that arrival time at WWMS can be busy. We need to ensure that all of our students are able to arrive at school on time. We ask for your cooperation with the following procedures:

When dropping your child off in the parent parking lot please pull all the way around until you reach the front cone. This enables 10 children to depart their car safely. Some parents continue to drop off their child at the top of the parent parking lot loop. This backs up traffic in a few ways. First, only one or two children can exit their vehicle safely. Second, this backs up traffic on Woodrow Wilson Drive, therefore causing other children to be late to school. Please consider alternative drop off locations for your child, such as Broad Avenue, Manor Avenue, or Woodbury Road. Additionally, when the weather permits, you may want to encourage your child to ride their bike to school. We have plenty of bike racks that they can use.

Finally, just a reminder that school begins at 8:30 AM. Students should have visited their lockers, prepared for their day, and be present in Homeroom prior to this time. Our suggested arrival at WWMS is 8:15 AM, in order for students to complete all these tasks without rushing and then be able start their day in a calm, peaceful manner.

Please join us for our virtual PTA Meeting at 7 PM. The meeting agenda is posted below.

This week, our school is learning and celebrating the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. Students will be watching a short film and completing individual choice activities during homeroom this week. Also, students who are fasting for Ramadan are able to spend their lunch period in the library if parents request this through their Guidance Counselor.

These activities are part of the work from our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee who have designed a program of learning about our students' diverse cultural traditions. This process will continue throughout the year as students learn about other holidays such as Vaishnnavi and Juneteenth.

Students' in Ms. Hurwitz classes learned about Arabic art and made 'Messages of Hope' using calligraphy and Arabic art motifs.

There is so much to celebrate this spring! Holi was a blast and Ramadan and Easter are coming up, along with many other important festivities.

What have you celebrated this spring? We want your pictures so the whole school can celebrate together. We are looking for pictures of any and all festivals, holidays, or important events. So send us great pics of your favorite moments of Holi, Easter, Purim, Ramadan, Eid, or any other celebrations.

Photos will be collected, printed, and posted in the hallway to share in our school community. Click the flyer below or here to submit your photos. We will be collecting until April 24th!

Completed permission/health forms and payment are due March 29, 2023.

Forms were distributed to students in homeroom on March 1, 2023. If you need another copy, you may download and print the forms included below.

Graduating 8th grade and 9th - 12th grade students from the Edison Township School District are invited to attend the Student Learning and Achievement Aerospace and Mechanical (SLAAM) Engineering Summer Academy at Rutgers University. The purpose of this program is to introduce high school students to engineering research and inspire them to become STEM professions!

The Student Learning and Achievement Aerospace and Mechanical (SLAAM) Engineering Summer Academy is a non-residential summer program aimed at academically talented and motivated high school students. SLAAM provides opportunities for students to pursue their intellectual curiosity and meet others who share their engineering interests and abilities. SLAAM is a selective program for high-achieving high school students who wish to engage in meaningful research and professional development at Rutgers’ Busch Campus. Financial aid is available.

A description of the SLAAM program and application is found at: (http://mae.rutgers.edu/student-learning-and-achievement-aerospace-and-mechanical-slaam-engineering-summer-academy).

SLAAM introduces high school students to ongoing topics of research and interests within the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Rutgers. The SLAAM program is HYBRID in 2023, therefore allowing students from NJ, PA, and NY to easily attend. The majority of the SLAAM program will be remote with limited activities in person, i.e. campus facility tours.

The SLAAM fellows participate in supervised research and learning experiences that are taught by Rutgers faculty and engineers that are assisted by undergraduate and graduate student mentors with expertise in engineering and computer science.

A limited number of partial scholarships are available for economically disadvantaged students.
