A Note from our Nurse
Hello Families,
Vision and hearing health screenings will be starting next week on all new students, 7th graders and students with an IEP. If you choose to opt out please inform the health office as soon as possible.
Cold and flu season is upon us and there currently is an uptake of illness within the school. PLEASE stay home if you are sick! Students may return to school only after they are symptom and fever free for 24 hours.
Be mindful of doing the at-home symptom screener before coming to school and any student with the following symptoms(s) need to stay home:
- A fever 100 degrees or higher. A student should not come back to school until the temperature is normal for 24 hours WITHOUT medication. Please DO NOT give any Tylenol, Ibuprofen or any cold medicine before sending your child to school.
- Vomiting and/or diarrhea
- A new or persistent cough
- Sore throat associated with a fever and/or rash
- Headache or stomach ache in combination with other symptoms listed
- Direct contact with a person that has tested positive for COVID.
- If your student or yourself has been tested for COVID and pending results, please stay home until test results are confirmed.
As a reminder please remember to wash your hands, get plenty of rest, drink extra fluids and eat a balanced diet. Healthy children learn better! Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in helping keep students safe and healthy. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Volunteers Needed!
- Classroom Volunteers: teachers may be reaching out during the year asking for help during various units. Please check with individual teachers if you are interested in this.
- Caring and Active Parents: CAP is the WPMS version of a PTO. CAP meetings are held at the school the second Friday of each month at 9:00 in the morning. CAP supports the students and staff throughout the year by helping with the Color FUNdraiser Run, Activity Nights, and special occasions. You do not have to be at the meetings to participate. CAP will send out invites when help is needed in other areas as well.
- Watch D.O.G.S.: Dads of Great Students is a wonderful national organization that encourages positive male role models to help in schools. A Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer helps to keep the building secure, participates in classes, helps at lunch, and forms positive relationships with students. We love our Watch D.O.G.S.!
- Connection Classes: Connection Classes are taught by volunteers that have a passion for a hobby and want to share that with students. In the past volunteers have led students in crocheting, disc golf, lego building, gardening, and many other fun activities. Be looking for more information on this in the following weeks.
