Updating your Student's Information



If you have not done so already, please log onto Skwyard Family Access and click on the "Update Your Student's Information" tile. We ask families to review their student's information annually and to make any necessary changes. This is especially important for guardian & emergency contact information in the event of an emergency. 
 

WMS Booster News

Our first Booster Club meeting will be Wednesday, October 7 at 6pm in the WMS library. All are welcome!

Spirit Wear orders are almost finished. We will reach out soon with order delivery dates for lunchtime pickup.

Prepaid cards go quickly at the beginning of the year. Everyone is very excited to visit the Student Store. Please take a moment to reload at: https://my.cheddarup.com/c/wms-student-store-prepaid-card-2026-2027 

Cash at the store is always welcome. We don’t always have change for larger bills, so please keep that in mind. If you do send bigger bills, consider using it for a prepaid card. We will be happy to create one during store hours.
