It’s a wonderful day to be a Wizard! Especially on a Thursday with no school tomorrow! These two awesome students, C. Diets & O. Mascarenas, got the chance to spin the wheel and won fabulous prizes. Way to go
A Note From The Health Office
Just a reminder, we need updated immunization records or immunization exemption forms turned in to the health office by October 30! If we don't have one or the other we will have to call home, as the students won't be able to be at school without that documentation.
Also, if you have any clothes you need to get rid of that fall in the Youth L - Adult XL size range, the health office could really use some extra clothes. We are specifically looking for bottoms!

Family Connection -Family Table Time
Did you know that teens who eat dinner with their families are less likely to use drugs or alcohol? Family dinner time activities and conversations can establish lifelong healthy habits, rituals, help to stay organized, create memories and traditions. Family dinner time can help promote values, ethics and principles within the family unit which in turn helps teens be healthy members of society.

Windsor Middle School's BIONIC Club (Believe It Or Not I Care) is selling socks for a cause
When someone in a developing country becomes an amputee – they quickly come to realize they have lost much more than a limb. The loss of a limb is just the first loss in a cycle of loss that often includes their job, social standing, self-worth, family, dignity, and finally their humanity. Let’s break that cycle!
Most of us don’t even think about it. We take thousands of steps every day. It’s just a part of life.
But for millions of amputees throughout the developing world, the possibility of taking a single step is just a dream.
WMS's BIONIC club started the sock campaign to help give amputees around the world a second chance at life by providing them with a leg system that is high-quality and costs less than the cell phone that we carry around in our pockets every day.
Also: For every pack sold, we will receive a pair of socks to donate to people in need within our own community!

We thank you for your support,
WMS BIONIC and Mrs. Brandl
Safe Schools Month: District Safety & Security Department
October is Safe Schools Month - a time to bring a focus on how our district and larger community can work together to make our schools safer and more secure. In Weld RE-4, we believe that in order to thrive in the classroom, students must have safe and secure learning environments. Safe and secure learning environments are fostered in our schools through: a Standard Response Protocol, safety plans, drills and exercises, secure entrances, screened visitors, security cameras, ID cards for staff and high school students, web filters and security settings, emergency response planning, and partnerships with local emergency services. These are just a handful of the items that comprise our safety program. Learn More

VOLUNTEER COACHING INFORMATION
There are a few steps to volunteering as a Coach at WMS. The first step is to speak with the Head Coach of the sport you want to participate in. When that coach approves you, he or she will send a note to Mr. Cox, our Athletic Director, informing him of the potential volunteer, and that the coach has met the potential volunteer and has a plan for that volunteer to help our program. The potential volunteer will then need to come see Mr. Cox to get a Volunteer Coaching form. You will need that form in order to complete an application to volunteer on our RAPTOR system. Once you have the form, go to RAPTOR and fill out the volunteer application. When you are approved, you will be in the system and are then able to work with our athletes.
Please call Mr. Cox if you have any questions, or need help working through the process, at (970) 686-8219.
