A Message from the Principal
Greetings WMS families,
I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving weekend. As we move our way through the second quarter of the school year, I would like to provide you with the opportunity to gather some information through our first Family Engagement Meeting of the school year on Monday, December 19th, at 5:00pm. The topics of the meeting are as follows:
School Goals
i-Ready testing & MyPath
Processes when there are concerns
The purpose of these meetings is to provide information that helps families understand some of the things we are doing at the middle school and also the processes for how they can engage with our school to better support their children. Please understand that this is not a forum to discuss concerns or issues or engage in a debate.
Here is the information you’ll need to join the meeting on the 19th:

Meeting ID: 874 7712 8526
Passcode: 108843
We plan to also record the meeting, as long as there is at least one person in attendance. If for some reason we do not have anyone join the meeting by 5:15, we will cancel the meeting. Hopefully that is not an issue.
Thank you for all that you do to support our schools. For those that are interested and able to attend on the 19th, we look forward to connecting with you then.
