Free WiFi Locations in Colorado
Please see the below message regarding free WiFi locations in Colorado.
Though many of our buildings are closed to the public, public libraries are still helping their communities access the internet to support remote learning, workforce, unemployment, and many other necessities during the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To make it easier for you and members of your community to find connectivity, we've created an interactive map of free WiFi locations in Colorado.
Free Meals For Winter Break
All students can receive free meals over Winter break.
Families can pick up one week's worth of meals (breakfast and lunch) on each distribution day to enjoy over the Winter break.
Meals will be available for distribution on December 21 AND December 28 at WHS (Southwest side) from 9am to 11am.
To receive the meals, just show up at the location and tell us how many children you have between the ages of 0-18. **No need to pack the kids to receive meals!**

Remote Learning Expectations

Sports Announcement
As you know, this year has been difficult with the changes being made due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are working to try to make sure that all of our students have a chance to compete in their athletics and activities this year, but many of the decisions to be made are out of our hands. With that in mind, I wanted to let you know how the situation currently stands for sports at WMS this year.
Currently, the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) is pondering decisions on indoor sports. They are scheduled to deliver some decisions to their member schools by early to mid December. While Middle Schools are not necessarily beholden to CHSAA for our sports decisions, we as a district, as well as the Northern Colorado Athletic Conference, our league, have decided to follow their lead in regards to decisions made for athletics within our schools. As soon as we have any information, we will be updating our website for each sport, with schedules and requirements for the season, as well as sending out information via the Newsletter. The website will also include tryout dates and times. Please watch those websites for the most up-to-date info on your sport or activity.
As you can imagine, having your kids in our buildings, continuing to provide them with a high quality education despite the hurdles that the current situation has placed before us, is our #1 priority. We recognize that sports and other extracurricular activities play a large role in the success of students as well. Countless studies show the benefits of students connecting with their schools in a way that goes beyond the classroom, and our hope is to continue offering those opportunities to our students. Thank you for your patience as we navigate these difficult times, and your willingness to help in keeping your students, and your family, healthy and safe.
Mr. Josh Cox
