A Message from Mr. Garrett
Happy Friday Mustangs! It is hard to believe that we are one week away from having one semester completed for the 2019-20 school year. I encourage you to have your child communicate with their teachers in regards to missing assignments and finishing 2nd quarter strong and improve their grade. Friday, December 20th is a full day of school for staff and students.
Staff will be back in the building on January 3rd, 6th and 7th for Professional Development days. Students will not return to WMS until Wednesday, January 8th for the first day of 3rd Quarter. For all the latest events and activities, as always please visit the WMS website and check out our calendar. Thank you for all your support making WMS a great place for students to learn and staff to work each day.
