Hello WMES Families- What an amazing 1st day together we had. Attached is our WMES student handbook. Please take the time to review this handbook along with reviewing it with your student. Some important items that I want to highlight include: 1. Our doors open at 8:10 and school begins at 8:25. Mondays are 1 hour late start with doors opening at 9:10 and school begins at 9:25. 2. This year we will have ASB cards. The cost of these are $15 per student. This money goes straight into your students grade level account to help fund field trips and student activities. 3. ALL end of day transportation changes need to be communicated to the office by 1 PM. 4. ALL student absences need to be communicated to the office within 24 hours to be excused. 5. All families will be receiving a letter to sign that is at the end of the handbook that you have reviewed the handbook with your student and that you have reviewed the attendance section. We look forward to a great year together! Take care, Mrs. Auckland https://kami.app/7QG-7Hj-nvQ-u4A

Hello WMES Families- I hope this message finds you well! We are all very excited here at WMES for the first day of school tomorrow. Here are a few reminders that we wanted to make sure you knew before tomorrow. 1. Doors open at 8:10 AM. Tomorrow ONLY (1st-5th grade students) you will be able to walk your student to their classroom if you so choose. However, please respect the teachers time and drop them off and say good bye in a timely fashion since we have a fun day ahead of us. Kindergarten and TtK students can be walked to class on their 1/2 day schedule on Friday and Tuesday ONLY. 2. To be able to enter the school pass the front office you will need to complete volunteer paperwork. You can get that paperwork at the front office at any time. 3. All end of day transportation changes need to be communicated to the front office by 1:00 PM daily. 4. End of day is at 2:55 PM. If you are going to be picking your student up, please stay in your vehicle if you are in our pick up line. We will bring your student to you or they will walk to your car. By staying in your vehicle it keeps the flow of traffic moving. Please understand that drop off and pick up do take some time and please be kind and patient as we work through the kinks of the first few weeks of school. We look forward to an exciting first day together and a new school year!
