Weekly Warrior Message 04/19/2026

Good evening, Warrior Families,

This Tuesday, April 21st, students will take their last Math NC Check-in assessment. Please help them come prepared by ensuring they get a good night’s rest. This assessment provides valuable insight into student growth and helps guide end-of-year instruction and state testing preparation.

Thursday, April 23rd, the WPMS PTO will host the Spring Fling dance. Students must have a signed permission slip. The cost is $5.00.

Beginning Monday, May 4th, we will implement a new traffic pattern for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. This is the first of several communications you will receive regarding this change—no adjustments will take place until May 4th.

Story Seekers Summer Camp is also open for registration! This program gives students the opportunity to explore reading in a fun, book-club style environment. Permission slips were sent home on Thursday. Spots are limited and filling quickly—if you need another copy, please let us know or access it  here.
