Building Goals
We are excited to reveal our 2017-2018 WMS goals! We are keeping our focus on the areas that we feel are most in need of improvement at WMS.
We fondly refer to them as the 3 Ps - People, Positive, Personalize!

Love Your People inspired goal:
By the spring of the 2018 school year, 100% of all Whitnall Middle School students will have developed a positive, trusting relationship with at least one adult at WMS as measured by the angel list and connectedness survey.

PBIS inspired goal:
By the end 2017-2018 school year, Whitnall Middle School staff will consistently acknowledge three positive behavior reinforcements for every single corrective action.

Personalizing Learning inspired goal:
By the end of the 2017-2018 school year, 100% of Whitnall Middle School students will achieve their expected annual growth on the STAR assessment due to staff engaging in effective instructional practices as demonstrated by personalized learning in order to engage students in deep learning across all content areas.

Donors Choose Campaign
7th grade students & staff have developed a proposal
to furnish their large group area!

Staff Recognition
Is there a staff member who you feel is ALL IN and you want them to know it? What about that staff member who is going above and beyond what you expected to make the learning experience positive for your child? Or maybe you have been wondering, how do I let my child's teacher know that I appreciate them?

Well, here is your chance! Please take a moment to click the link and fill out
Whitnall Middle School's Positive Staff Referral
for any WMS staff member that you believe deserves recognition!
We will take care of the rest!
Board Games/ Card Games
With the cold weather quickly approaching, we are looking for board game and card game donations so that students are able to play games during indoor recess.
Please bring any games you are willing to spare to the office.
