GOING, GOING, ALMOST GONE!As the world adjusts to change, one thing that remains constant is the yearbook tradition. WMS is happy to announce that we are working to ensure that the 2020 yearbook is completed, printed and delivered to our students. This yearbook will capture the story of this unique school year. Since copies are limited and school schedules continue to change, we ask that you please order your yearbook online. To get yours, click here and complete the online order form. Only a few copies are left for 404 students! Reserve your copy today! Click here for a peek at our 2020 cover! Contact Mr. Schonfeld with any questions or for more information.

Fellow WMS 8th grade parent, Magin Urdanick has been inspired by what Matt Mendelsohn is doing for the Yorktown Seniors (click here to learn more about the YHS project) and she would like to do the same thing for our 8th graders. How wonderful for our 8th grade students! How it would work: Have your 8th grader pick some props that would show what their interests are and/or something that represents them (basketball, softball, art, photography, etc.). She’ll come to your house, in mask and standing 6/8 feet away. She’ll use her long lens to get their portrait. These will be quick 10 or 15 minute sessions. Then she will give you the digital file at no charge. It might be cool to have the kids wear something that says WMS on it for continuity but obviously not required! To book a session click on the Google form here, or the booking site. Click on BOOK ONLINE tab, upper right corner, then, click on BOOK NOW. Any questions? Contact Magin Urdanick.

This year APS has moved to an online verification system for maintaining accurate student information through ParentVUE. During this verification process you will be asked if you wish to appear in the PTA Directory. You must check the “opt in” box to appear in and access the PTA Directory. Once the WMS PTA receives the final list of those families who have chosen to appear in the PTA Directory, you will receive a verification email from our directory vendor of how you wish your family information to appear. WMS families that opt in will have access to the online directory. WMS families that are PTA members will also receive a printed copy of the directory. Questions? Contact our PTA Directory team here.
