May MSP Test Dates
Please take note of the following MSP Test dates for your student. Attendance at school during testing is extremely important in order to avoid your student having to miss additional instruction time for makeups.

WMS POGO Concert and Open House
Our pilot POGO program is near completion and we are celebrating with an Open House on Thursday, May 23 from 5:30-7:00 PM in the WMS Cafeteria. There have been many great success stories and we look forward to sharing some of them. Come hear some great music played by students and our teaching artists on violins, violas, cellos, buckets (yes, buckets) and even a trumpet played by the old guy.

WMS Bulldogs on Bikes Commuter Contest
During May our Bulldogs on Bikes team will be competing in the Thurston County Bicycle Commuter Contest. Please take a moment to register for free at “Read More” below. If you cannot register at home, please stop by Mr. Hunter’s room for help.
The goal of the contest is to promote gas-free, healthful and invigorating transportation. You can qualify for cool prizes, and do something great for the environment and your health. Stay tuned for information on after-school bike maintenance workshops, as well as a group ride through local neighborhoods. Contact Mr. Hunter for further details at chunter@osd.wednet.edu.
Consolidated Program Review
The state legislature has required that all school districts adopt and implement a teaching framework to improve learning. Our district is implementing the Charlotte Danielson Framework. We have used our non-student days and our late-start collaboration days to learn this framework so that we can best meet the academic needs of all of our students. If you have suggestions or comments about teacher professional development, please send them to Mr. Anders or Mrs. Wood.
