Appreciation & Gratitude


As Family Appreciation Week comes to a close, we are reminded of all you do and offer our gratitude to you as a part of the WMS community. Thank you for adjusting your schedules to allow the WMS staff to take a bit of a breather over the past few days. It was needed and appreciated. Thanks to those who have reached to offer help in so many ways.


Thanks to our staff members who have supported each other through life’s challenges that inevitably arise during a school year. You are the best at saying "yes" to make sure your co-workers are taken care of, and that the children in each classroom are presented with energetic, positive, kind and knowledgeable substitute teachers when needed. 


Although school was not in session for the past two days, staff was found working in their classrooms, sprucing up the building, and, of course, working with the children in child care. Parents were working on co-op jobs throughout the building. Ours is a community that works together to ensure that the school is the best it can be. Thank you to each of you for making our community strong and for partnering with us as we continue to offer an authentic Montessori education where your child is known, affirmed and prepared for every step along their educational journey. Family Appreciation Week lasts seven days; our gratitude has no end.

In order to keep WMS secure and monitor who has entered the school, please use your keycard to enter the building. Keycards work from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. If you need to enter the building outside of these times and no one is at the desk to assist you, please call 302-475-0555 for assistance.


If you have misplaced your keycard, please notify Markia Inge to order a replacement.


Thank you for helping us keep our building secure!

Camp Montessori - Programs filling up!


While we are a month and a half away from our early registration deadline for Camp Montessori 2023, several of our programs/weeks are already nearing capacity!


To reserve your child's spot, please visit the Camp Montessori website or contact camp@wmsde.org for assistance. Families that sign up for five or more weeks (per family) by March 31 will receive a 10% early registration discount. We look forward to seeing you this summer!

Re-enrollment - Past Due


Our re-enrollment deadline of February 15 has passed, and we're beginning to make plans for next year and accept new students awaiting admission to our programs. If you have not yet enrolled, please do so ASAP as your child's seat is no longer secure. And if you're not planning to return, please notify us via email (admissions@wmsde.org), FACTS or submit the Google form that was sent to you from our admissions office last week. This will help us plan for the fall. Thank you!


As always, we are here to help with this process:



We're looking forward to another wonderful school year with your family!
