WRMS Staff

 

Hello West Rocks! 

We had a busy week and are ready for Spring Break! 

Thank you to our National Junior Honor Society for sponsoring our first ever Shades of Blue Spirit Week aligned with our campaign to support Autism Awareness and Acceptance throughout April. 

On Thursday, 100 students in grade 7-8 in our dual language program went on a field trip to the Repertorio Theater in New York City! Shout-out to our Dual Language Coordinator Mrs. Chimento for organizing such a great trip! Our students and staff went into the city, ate lunch at a restaurant, and saw a show! Check out a few pictures above! There is also a short video created by Ms. Ramirez that is posted our social media pages!

Quarter 3 grades are now final and available through the Parent Portal in PowerSchool. Please review all grades and comments and reach out to your student’s teacher directly with any questions. For questions on attendance, please contact your student’s school counselor. 
 
The next Parent Square post will be the weekend of April 26.
 
Have a great week! Rest up and recharge! Hopefully the weather gets better.

Independent Practice Over Break

As we get ready to close out the year with a great Q4, our teachers have asked our students to continue to read independently and practice using IXL over Spring Break! Please support our efforts and encourage your student to read 20 minutes each day and practice math and science using IXL. Our teachers have assigned practice problems. We want to prevent learning loss! 

 

Yearbook

Supplies are Limited!

The yearbook staff has placed their final yearbook order and there is now a limited supply of yearbooks available for order. Time is running out, so make sure to order TODAY in order to guarantee you’ll have a yearbook this Spring.
