Dear Parents and Students:

We at WMS would like to welcome you to the 2015-16 school year.  We are excited to be partnering with you to ensure “our” students find academic and social growth as the year progresses.  Open lines of communication serve as the most direct measure to ensure student success.  Please contact us with any questions, concerns or to tell us great job. :)

Wabash City School’s Mission:

WCS provides a relevant and rigorous education to ensure each student is college and career ready for success in a global community.

Instructional Focus:

WMS uses the Indiana College and Career Ready Standards as the basis for our curriculum.  Our skills focus centers around literacy, specifically reading, writing and speaking.

Daily Basics - 5 Academic periods, 1 elective, FLEX, SSR

Student Handbook:

Our WMS student handbook is located on the main WCS website under the “resources tab”.

New Policy:   Students that get into physical altercations or fights will be removed from WMS by our School Resource Officer (SRO) immediately and transported to probation by our with a tiered system of increased involvement by the Wabash Probation Department for further offenses.

Student Locks:

Students wishing to use a school lock will need to see Mrs. Hodson who will be issuing the locks the first week of school.  Information on when and where will be forthcoming. Each student must provide a $5.00 deposit for use of the lock for the year.  The deposit will be returned when lock is returned to office.

Skyward Access:

Wabash City Schools has moved to a new student management system called SKYWARD.  Parents will receive information in the next couple weeks allowing access to student grades, attendance etx.  (This program replaces STI which is what was used prior to this year for parental access to student information.)

Thanks again for your attendance tonight and trusting us with your student.  We are prepared and ready for another amazing year here at WMS.  Together, as a partnership, we will be able to have meaningful impact on the educational growth of your students.

 

Sincerely,

Mike Mattern
