Hello Warrior Families,
We wrapped up the week in the best way—our very first house meetings! Students learned about house traditions, upcoming events, and had an exciting start to what will be a year full of energy and teamwork. 
Happy first day of fall! Just like the changing season, this is a great time to grow, try new things, and keep moving forward together.
Attendance Update
Last week’s attendance rates were:
6th Grade: 96%
7th Grade: 92%
8th Grade: 94%
We’re proud of our Warriors who are showing up ready to learn each day. Strong attendance is the foundation of success—every Warrior, every day! Let’s aim even higher this week.
Behavior Referrals
At WPMS, we believe in setting clear expectations and supporting positive choices. Teachers use many strategies to encourage success, but sometimes an administrative referral is needed. Last week’s referral counts were:
6th Grade: 1
7th Grade: 3
8th Grade: 2
Thank you for partnering with us as we help every student learn and grow in a safe, structured environment.
