April 18, 2019 MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL DIANNE CARTER Happy Thursday (sort of Friday), WRMS Families!
It's been another great week to be a Wildcat! I hate to say that I didn't make it into many classes this week, but I did have quite a few really good conversations with teachers, students and parents. It is that time of year when I get to really listen to feedback and hear about areas where we can do better. Of course it is always wonderful to hear compliments, but I get excited about the critical feedback that leads to positive change. We also had a faculty meeting this week where we all took a moment to breathe and celebrate followed by a little peek into the future. I am truly excited about the journey we are all going on together.
A few information items:
SCHOOL NEWS 2019-2020 ATHLETICS PHYSICALS This year, athletics physicals will be offered at WHS on May 8th from 6-9pm and again on July 25th from 6-9pm.

VOLUNTEER SIGN UP - MOBILE 8TH GRADE PEDERNALES FIELD TRIP COUNSELOR'S CORNER WILDCAT CLUB NEWS STAAR TESTING HALL MONITORS NEEDED
Thank you to the volunteers who came in last week to help monitor the halls for STAAR testing this week!!! We still need some help on May 6, May 13-16.
This is a super easy but very important job, and it's a great way to help make sure testing days go as smoothly as possible for our kids and teachers. Your job will be to ensure that only one student is in the rest room at a time during breaks, and that students waiting in line do not talk. Just check in with the front desk when you arrive and you'll be assigned to a hallway to monitor. There will be a desk where you can sit, so bring your laptop, a book or just enjoy some quiet time!
TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
We are changing the dates on Teacher Appreciation Week to May 7th – 10th. Too many teachers were going to be off-campus during the originally planned, previous week. We want to make sure everyone is here to feel appreciated! We are planning lots of fun during this week. One of the treats we plan to give is a $25 gift card to each staff member as a token of appreciation for their hard work. That's where you come in! We are asking WRMS parents to donate gift cards. You are welcome to select your gift and drop it off in the office during the next few weeks, OR you can purchase through the Wildcat Club. Gift cards are now on sale. Click THIS LINK to make a purchase. THE WILDCAT CLUB NEEDS YOU!
