Picture Day is October 9th

We have made it easy for you to place your portrait order online and support your school! A portion of the proceeds of every order placed on or before Picture Day are returned to your school to support fundraising efforts. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Scan the QR code or go to www.coffeepond.com and click on the big red button that says “Order School Portraits and shop our exclusive products”.
  2. Using the drop-down menu, select the city and state where your school is located, then select the name of your school.
  3. Enter your child’s information, including full first name (as it appears in the school’s registry).
  4. Select your packages and add them to your cart.
  5. If you have more than one child attending this school, click “Order for Another Child” and repeat the steps above.
  6. Once you’ve added packages to your cart for all your children, you’re ready to check out! Follow the prompts to enter your contact and billing information. Once all your information has been entered and you’ve reviewed your order, just be sure to click “Submit Order”!

Orders placed after Picture Day may be subject to a $8 handling fee.

Green and gray Yondr pouch Yondr Pouches – No Smart Device at School Form

If your child is NOT planning to bring a smart device (e.g., cell phone, smart watch) to school all year, please fill out the following No Smart Device Form.

Note: All students will be issued a Yondr pouch regardless of whether they currently own a smart device or not. Completing this form will allow school staff to quickly and efficiently identify your student’s device-at-school status as they enter the building each day.

ParentSquare (PSQ)

WPS is transitioning our mass communication platform for emails, calls, and text messages from SchoolMessenger to ParentSquare. ParentSquare uses 1 email address and 1 phone number from PowerSchool for each parent/guardian/caregiver. Please check your contact information in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and delete any outdated phone numbers or emails. Learn more about ParentSquare (PSQ).

SNAP Health Portal

The nursing department is in the process of updating your student’s health records for the new school year. This triggers a monthly email reminder to parents/guardians to confirm or update their student’s medication permissions, immunizations, and health conditions. This process ensures that the information in your student’s health records is accurate and yearly permissions are confirmed for the new school year.  Log into Powerschool using the same username and password you use to access report cards and click the SNAP Health Portal icon on the left sidebar. Read more details on the the Nursing Department Website.

Back to School Night is happening on Thursday, September 25th and we are looking for 8th grade students to stand out in the hallways and direct the caregivers to their students’ classrooms. If you are free on Thursday September 25th from 6:15 PM until 8:45 PM, come to the main office at any point today and put your name in for consideration.

Think you know it all? Answer the Library Question of the Week for a chance to win a prize! This week’s question: “What is the longest river in the world?” Scan the barcode outside the library bulletin board to enter. The winner will be announced on Friday!

Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community will be celebrating this week?  Tonight begins the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. It is celebrated for either 1 or 2 days, beginning at sundown the night before. Apples and honey are shared symbolizing hopes for a sweet new year. Rosh Hashanah also begins the 10 most holy days in the Jewish year.  You can wish someone a “sweet new year” or a “good new year.” We wish all people at WMS observing this holiday, a “sweet new year” or a “good new year,” or in Hebrew, “L’Shana Tovah.”  

To all students:  Today after school there will be teachers outside with magnets to unlock your Yondr pouches in the front courtyard near the flagpole. Students near the courtyard doors at the end of the day can exit through those doors and unlock your pouches in the courtyard

There will be no 3:30 pm bus to Boston today. All students riding to Boston will be taking the 2:30 pm bus. The late bus in Wellesley will leave at 3:30 pm.

Have a good day everyone!

 

Please note that the daily announcements are sometimes subject to change during the school day. When this happens the announcements will be updated on the website and on the video screen in the WMS lobby, but a new email will not be sent.
