Hello Wareham Middle School Families,

We can feel the excitement in the air at WMS. Progress reports for term 2 went home this week. Please review with your child. 

As we start the new year, please remember that regular attendance in all classes is critical to your child’s academic achievement and future success. Our goal is for your child to gain the maximum benefit from the lessons presented to them on a daily basis by their teachers. It is very difficult for students to make up work when they are frequently absent from school, therefore, regular attendance is essential to success in school. If you are having difficulty getting your child to school, we can support you with this. Please give us a call.

Upcoming Events:

• 12/15 Trans Siberian Orchestra cover band Ornament at WHS tickets available
• 12/21 Half Day for all student. WMS dismissal is at 10:02 AM
• 1/2/19 Back to School
• 1/23/19 Term 2 ends
