A Message from Mr. Garrett
WMS Mustangs -
The start of the 2019-2020 school year is quickly approaching and we are looking forward to seeing all WMS students back at Wheatridge!
I understand the first day of school can be tough to drop off your child. We ask that parents do not enter classrooms and allow teachers to help your child with their locker and find their desk in their classroom, etc. I thank you for your understanding and helping keep all WMS Students safe at school each day.
Schedules will not be printed off for students at WMS. Students will be able to access their schedule utilizing skyward along with their locker combo. If there are any questions or issues with their schedule and or lockers, please have your child report to the WMS office and we will have counselors, secretaries and administrators to help individual student needs.
Lastly, we want to assure all students are safe at WMS. If your child is walking or riding a bike to school, please remind them to utilize the sidewalks at all times. If you are dropping off a child at WMS, you are able to drop off your child in front of the school or in the back of WMS. For your child safety, please do not drop off your child before 7:45. I also recommend dropping off and picking up your child at the curb each day, you do not have to drop off students at the front door, the larger number of students that unload at one time vs. waiting to unload at the doors will help traffic flow and speed up drop off for students in the AM. Please see the email sent out via Skyward further explaining the drop off and pick up procedures and routes.
Please see the information below highlighting some important back-to-school information and dates including 5th Gr Information Night, Locker Access, and Schedule Release.
We are looking forward to a great year at WMS!
