Dolphin Digest
Weekly Update #7
Week of September 6, 2021
WMES Parents/Guardians,
Happy Friday! The first week of school was amazing! It was so awesome having our students back in person, five days a week. Thank you for your patience as dismissal may have taken a few extra minutes for car riders. Transportation is working out its issues. Students who have not been assigned a bus should have a bus assignment shortly.
Here is a reminder for all car riders. Please make sure your child is on the right side of the car for safety purposes when exiting and entering the vehicle. Your child should practice how to buckle and unbuckle his or her safety belt to ensure a speedy arrival and dismissal. Any changes for afternoon dismissal must be in writing. You cannot call to make changes after 2 p.m.!
Please check your child's PowerSchool account on Monday, as some transportation updates will be in effect as of Tuesday, September 7, 2021. Drop-off times may have been adjusted by a few minutes as additional students have been added to some routes.
We are in need of paper mask donations for our students. Your donation will be greatly appreciated to ensure the safety of all here at WMES.
Please be reminded that all students, staff, and families in the building will be required to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
We look forward to seeing all of our WMES Dolphins for our Family Fun Fair on Friday from 5-6:30 p.m.! Our staff has put a lot of effort into the games and activities for this fun evening. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Let's just hope for a healthy, safe, and normal school year!
Ms. Seidel, Proud Principal
