WMMS Weekly Update
09/30/2022
Good Afternoon WMMS Families!
We are wrapping up a terrific week at WMMS. Our student council organized an exciting homecoming week for our students and staff. Students really enjoyed our dress up days and getting together to participate in a whole school pep fest today. We hope to see your family at tonight’s homecoming game. Go Royals!

WMMS Principal
Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
Our fall conferences will take place in-person at the middle school on Thursday, October 6 and Monday, October 10 from 3:30-7:30 pm. During this time families can visit with each of their child’s teachers on a first come, first serve basis. The majority of our teachers will be located in our gym area and the Royal Commons. Special education teachers will be located in our special education suite. If you are not able to attend conferences but would like to connect with a teacher please contact them directly by email. Families are also encouraged to monitor the Campus Portal on a weekly basis to review their student’s academic progress.
The Middle School PTO would appreciate it if our 5th and 6th Grade Families will help provide some meals for our teachers during conferences that will be coming up in a couple of weeks. Please use this link to sign up. Thank you so much. Sign up Genius

To provide a safe and efficient method of dropping off and picking up students please follow these procedures:
Enter the MS/HS Campus off Hwy 25 and continue to the back MS Parking Lot.
Follow along single-file, and remain along the curb as it wraps to the left and takes you to the front side of the building.
As you approach the front of the building, remain along the curb, single-file, and pull up as far as possible to the end of the drop-off zone in front of the main entrance of the school. Signage will be posted for reminders.
When it is safe to do so, please have your student exit the vehicle, curbside. Remain in your vehicle at all times.
Once your student is on the sidewalk, safely pull forward and follow the perimeter of the parking lot.
Continue forward to exit onto Hwy 25.
