Parent/Teacher Conferences

WMS Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held Monday, October 19 and Wednesday, October 21 from 4:00 to 7:00PM. Monday, October 5, an email via Parent Square will be sent with instructions along with a link to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Sign up will close on Sunday, October 18. 

When signing up, please notice the tabs at the top of the sign up. Choose the appropriate grade/teacher and find a convenient time for you to meet with your child's teacher. We ask that you only meet with one pair of core teachers to allow a time slot for all families. If you would like to meet with an encore or other special teacher, please sign up accordingly to leave yourself adequate time to go from one meeting to the next. We want to stay on schedule in order to show respect to everyone's schedule. 
 

Absences

Absences should be called into the office at (920) 532-5553 by 8:30AM or parents will receive an automated phone call regarding their absent child. Please call the office if you have a late day message for your child. Please do not call or email the teachers directly as they are not always able to check their email or listen to voice messages until after school.

If your child will be missing one or more days of school due to a pre-arranged absence, please have your child pick up an absence form in the office.
