Notes from the WGMS Principal
September 16, 2022
Message from the Principal: Welcome to the New School Year!
Here are some WGMS news and notes that we will continue to get out to you on a regular basis. This is an opportunity to get updates, share important information, and give a heads up on upcoming events.
We have had a strong opening week and a half that we will continue to build upon. Mrs. Howard and I enjoyed getting into every classroom to introduce ourselves as well as have an open dialogue on what it looks like to be responsible, respectful, and safe in our building.
We look forward to an incredible school year!
Stay well,
Michael McGrath
WGMS Open House/Title 1 Information Night
We are excited to have Open House/Title 1 Information Night in-person next Wednesday, September 21 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Please plan to arrive early as parking will be at a premium. You will be following your child’s “A” Day schedule and spending 9 minutes in each of their classes to get a general overview of curriculum, procedures, and expectations.
This is not a parent-teacher conference night, but it is a night for you to meet the amazing, caring, and talented people that work with our kids everyday and do whatever takes to help them be successful.
Look for a paper copy of your child’s schedule coming home with them next week.
Picture Day
October 5 is a Half-Day for Students
For planning purposes, we will be dismissing students at 10:10 a.m. on October 5, 2022. The rest of the day will be a Superintendent Conference Half-Day for Staff.
