Message from Mr. Burns
Hi Wims Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying the daylight a little bit later this evening. Although, as I write this message, snowflakes are flying around in the air. Maybe it is Mother Nature's last winter hoorah:)
This is the last week to complete the MCPS parent survey. As of this past Friday, we only had 3.7% of our families fill out the survey. Our goal is to have 30% representation from our families. Please take the time to fill it out to share your experience at WIms, as well as MCPS. More information can be found below. Thank you!
-Mr. Burns
MCPS Parent Survey
MCPS has released the annual staff, student, and family climate and culture surveys. The surveys are essential for creating inclusive, supportive, and thriving school communities. Please take a moment to fill out the parent survey for Wims. The link for the survey can be reached here: https://parentsurvey.mcpsmd.org/. It requires you to enter your child's student ID number. You can find your child’s MCPS student ID in ParentVue or on their report cards. The survey will be available through March 15th. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know:)
