Dear Wildcat Families,
Welcome to week 9 of the Fall Semester! Picture Day 2024 is tomorrow, Tuesday, October 8th.
New This Week:
PTSA Meeting & Field Update: Are you interested in learning more about the field redesign project at WMS? This Wednesday, October 9th, at 6:30 pm, Verde Design & the District’s Bond Project Manager will present at our PTSA meeting. We will also have our ELA Department Chair, Ms. Narvarte, sharing the collaborative work her team is engaging in. Join us in the MUR for a very informative meeting!
Serramonte College & Career Fair on October 17th
Color Run 2024, Important Update: While it is too late to order a shirt, your student(s) can still participate in the run. (CLICK HERE). Permission slips are due this Thursday, October 10th. Students can give them to their Advisory teachers or drop them off in the office.
Fall Intervention Conferences (October 21th-25th): Our conferences are designed to prioritize support for those students who are showing signs of struggle in one or more of their classes.
Our School Counselors, Case Managers, and teachers will reach out to families to make sure you are aware that a conference is desired and to help with scheduling. Students are strongly encouraged to attend the conference with their guardians.
If you would like feedback about your student’s performance and do not hear from a WMS staff member, you will have an opportunity to sign up for conferences. More information to follow soon.
Remember, we are on a minimum day schedule for the whole week of October 21st. Your learners will be released from school at 12:54 p.m. on those days. Please plan accordingly.
