NEWS & NOTES

Back-to-School Reminders


Supply Lists & Summer Homework

Have you started your back-to-school shopping and summer homework? You can access the homework and supply lists for your student’s level via the WMS website.


Classroom Placement Letters

Classroom placements will go out late next week! Please keep an eye on your inbox!


Pre-Primary Teacher Visits - New Families

After placement letters are sent, Pre-Primary teachers will be setting up times to meet with families new to the school (or their specific classroom). Traditionally, these visits have taken place in families’ homes where children feel most comfortable. If a home visit is not possible, teachers will gladly arrange a visit on campus instead.


Bloomz 

As you know, Bloomz is our primary method of classroom communication. New families should have received Bloomz invitations and joined our Pre-Enrolled Bloomz group! If you did not receive an invitation or need further assistance, please contact Noel Dietrich, Director of Marketing & Communications. All returning families will be able to access their new classrooms on their current Bloomz accounts once placements are shared.
