Full Calendar

Moving Up Classroom Visits


Next week, WMS families have the opportunity to learn more about their child’s next steps as they move from one program level to the next. If your child is moving to a new level for the 2023-24 school year, we encourage you to join us for an upcoming classroom observation. Though our Montessori foundation remains strong throughout each program at WMS, you will notice age-appropriate differences as you explore the next steps in your child’s education.


As children grow and learn how to navigate their world, they continue to work toward the goal of independence. That can mean everything from learning to put their coats on, writing their names, or running a classroom business. They look to the adults around them to gauge their response to their efforts and determine how they will respond to a request that requires new or unfamiliar skills. As your children grow, so do expectations. The ways in which we might help a Primary (3-6) student are quite different from the support we offer a sixth-grader. 


WMS is a place where children are known, affirmed and prepared - for the next steps in their learning journey and their lives. We look forward to sharing more about our programs and welcome opportunities to continue the conversation about why WMS is the best school for children from 12 months through 14 years old.

NEWS & NOTES

A Message from our Middle School Students: Order from the Winter Marketplace by December 15


Good Day, WMS Families & Staff,


The Middle School has reopened the WMS Winter Marketplace for a second year, and we are currently taking orders! We are excited to introduce new and improved designs, all created in the WMS Maker (STEAM) Studio.


This year, we are offering coasters, ornaments and keychains, some of which are customizable. However, these items are only available for a limited time, so be sure to make your purchase by December 15!


We organized the Winter Marketplace to raise money for our trip to the Montessori Model UN conference in New York City this March. 


Please refer to our order form, or visit us in the lobby this week to place an order! Thank you for your support!


Best regards,

The WMS Middle School Students


P.S. If you have questions, please contact a middle-schooler, or reach out to Alyssa Eastburn (Director of Technology) or Paula Sharpe (STEAM Education Coordinator).

Giving Tuesday Update


Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make Giving Tuesday 2022 a success for WMS! Whether you donated, shared our fundraiser with a friend or family member, shared how you are #Connected2WMS or helped energize other families in your classroom around giving as a Classroom Ambassador, your support will make a huge difference to current and future WMS students!


We are excited to share that we met our $5,000 board matching challenge and expect to receive some matching funds through Facebook recurring donations as well. When we finish tabulating the final results, we will share our classroom challenge winner and reach out to those who received raffle prizes!


If you haven't given yet, you can still support the WMS Annual Fund at www.wmsde.org/donate! Thank you for everything!
