Hello Wareham Middle School Families,

In many communities across the country, ALICE is being implemented. ALICE stands for Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate. Following ALICE will help our students and staff feel more confident and better equipped in the event of a real threat at school. We had assemblies with all grades on January 8th. They watched an ALICE video. Administration and Officer Baptiste answered any questions students had. We congratulate our students for being so mature and taking this information so seriously.

WMS will hold a lock down practice drill next week.

Winter Concert: Come check out what our awesome band and chorus students have been working on this year! The concert begins promptly at 6 PM in the middle school auditorium and will feature students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Hope to see you there!

Hello Wareham Middle School Families,

I cannot believe we are almost half way through this school year! Term 2 closes on January 23rd. Please review grades with your child. Term 2 is a difficult term with the holidays and break. There are about 3 more weeks in term 2 for all children to be focused on learning and growing.

In many communities across the country, ALICE is being implemented. ALICE stands for Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate. Following ALICE will help our students and staff feel more confident and better equipped in the event of a real threat at school. We will have assemblies on January 8th for all students. They will watch an ALICE video. Administration and Officer Baptiste will be available to answer any questions students may have. We will also hold a practice drill just like we do for fire drills.
