School Messenger 12/12/2024 Basketball News
Hello WMS Parents & Staffulty,
The purpose of this communication is to make a clarification regarding WMS Basketball.
Westmoreland Middle School has varsity teams and junior varsity teams for both girls and boys.
There are no 6th grade teams. 6th graders that are on the basketball team are members of either the varsity and/or junior varsity teams.
Also, there is no 5th and 6th grade basketball teams sponsored by WMS.
There may be some AAU teams or peewee basketball teams that these students play on. However, our coaches do not have these type teams because they are not allowed and they can not be a part of these teams because they are middle school coaches.
To further clarify, the only games that will be played this weekend are the basketball games with Red Boiling Spring Junior High here at WMS. The girls varsity team will tip off at 12 Noon with the boys game to follow. At this point, I have not heard about any JV games prior to the varsity games. Our coaches will share those plans with players and they will share that information with parents.

Hello WMS Parents & Staffulty,
Monday 03/25/24 we begin the 4th quarter for this school year. The 4th quarter is always very important because there is so much that will happen.
One very important thing that will happen is state assessment. Our testing window will begin the week of 04/15 and go through Friday 04/26 with makeups to follow. Specific testing dates will be shared soon.
As students and staffulty continue intense preparation for state assessment, I ask that you please be sure that your child is at school everyday all. Attendance is very important. Also, I ask that you strongly encourage your child to do their best on everything ... both preparing for the state assessment and taking the state assessment.
Since state assessment will be online this year, it is expected that results will be back in time to count as part of your child's overall grade. Therefore, we want everyone to have the best score possible.
In closing, THANK YOU for all that you do to support Westmoreland Middle School.

Students and parents may purchase Singing “Valentunes” each day for $3 per selection. Each Singing “Valentune” comes with a delicious sucker. (Suckers may also be purchased individually for $1 each.) On our Valentines Day parents may send Valentine Day gifts to school. Gifts may include flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, candy, etc. Deliveries will be accepted after our last lunch shift beginning at 12:30 PM. Parents: Since there are restrictions as to what can be transported on buses, please be sure that what you have delivered can either be transported home on the bus or that you are going to pick up your child. As we approach celebrating Valentine's Day this week, we've had a few folks ask for a reminder on items permitted on school buses. As a general rule:
- No Glass
- No Balloons
- No Eating on the School Bus (choking hazard)
- Items brought on board must fit in students lap/not take the seat space of another student passenger;
- Friendly reminder that the Bus Driver cannot hold large items in the driver seat area.
- Probably means the Costco-Sized plush teddy bears are out of the question.
With all the "no's", there IS plenty of room for big smiles, positive attitudes, listening ears, friendly waves - and good memories to be made on the safe School Bus!

Dear WMS Parents & Staffulty,
As you know, attendance is VERY IMPORTANT in anything you do.
As a reminder of our attendance policy, I have attached two pages from our student handbook to this email.
The two pages have five areas where a "------>" has been drawn to call attention to the section.
While these areas primarily focus on unexcused absences, all absences have a negative effect on student performance.
Please review your child's attendance in Skyward. If your child has any unexcused absences, then let's work together to get that resolved.
In addition, I have attached some "Attendance Pointers for Parents" that might help you with your child.
In closing, I want to continue to encourage you to encourage your child to be at school everyday all day. Attendance is VERY IMPORTANT!
Thank You!
