Character Education at WMS
If you recall, last week we shared about our first day back after winter break, in which we reviewed expectations, got to know our advisory peers, developed social contracts and learned about peer relationships through transition activities.

If you have a moment please take a look at the presentation that was delivered to 6th and 7th grade students in its entirety and quickly with 8th graders,
about friends vs acquaintances and conflict vs bullying.

WMS Milwaukee Bucks Night
8th Grade Transition Night
January 25th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm prospective parents and 8th graders are invited to an information night at the high school.  

  Attendees meet in the High School Auditorium at 5:30. This informational evening will include an overview of the Freshman Academy, course offerings and the course selection process for 9th graders along with school tours and the opportunity to learn about the many activities and clubs available at Whitnall High School.

Attendance at this evening event is highly encouraged!
8th Grade Falcon Summits
Attention 8th grade Parents/Guardians: We are beginning to schedule appointments for Falcon Summits or Individual Learning Plan Conferences!

These conferences/meetings are planned for the months of February and March 2018. Since high school counselors discuss 9th grade schedules at the January 25th Open House this will be a very timely and informative meeting.

Please click: Falcon Summit to review the information and sign up!
Staff Recognition
Is there a staff member who you feel is ALL IN and you want them to know it?

Or maybe you have been wondering, how do I let my child's teacher know that I appreciate them?
