Another week, another group of amazing students getting to spin the Wheel of Windsor. Congratulations to J. Zimmerman, L. Bumford, N. Kremer on their winnings
SRO Student of the Week: Parker W
"Parker notices the little things that make a big difference in the classroom. Not only is he focused and hard working, but he stays after class to help pick up things off the floors as well as helps put things away. He also does this without being asked. I appreciate him being the responsible young man he is."
Spelling Bee Club
The Spelling Bee Club will be meeting on Tuesdays at 7:45AM with Ms. Parker. The first meeting is this coming Tuesday 10/31!
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 (this coming Monday)! 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.
We will be doing 7th grade hearing and vision screening on Monday Nov 27th from 8:40-9:35am (During 1st period). We will have 4-5 RNs that morning and 11 audiology students to help screen. Please make sure students bring/wear their glasses if they have them.
Halloween Costumes

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.

Safe Schools Month
October is Safe Schools Month. In recognition of this designation, we look to share different aspects of our safety program with you:
Standard Response Protocol
Our district proactively works to prepare our school staff, students, and buildings for a variety of safety scenarios. We utilize the i love u guys Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol. This protocol provides common language and training to school districts across the country, and includes five specific safety actions: hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate, and shelter. We would encourage you to engage your children in conversations about our Standard Response Protocol language, discussing what your student can expect in each scenario and talking through any associated feelings. Learn More
Community Partners
We value our close partnerships with Windsor Severance Fire Rescue and the police departments at the Town of Severance and Town of Windsor. We regularly work with our local first responders to ensure the readiness of our school personnel and law enforcement for preparation, response, and after action related to preparedness for a variety of safety and security situations. Through a partnership with the Windsor and Severance Police Departments, we have four School Resource Officers (SROs) at our school buildings. 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.
