Weekly Warrior Message from Mrs. Garza

Good evening West Pender Middle School families, this is Principal Garza with your Weekly Warrior message. We want to say a big thank you to our parents, students,  CFCC, our WPMS PTO, and our WPMS cafe and student support staff for helping make Teacher Appreciation Week special for all of our teachers. Thank you!

The West Pender PTO is holding elections for next year’s officers. Please send back the ballot sent home with your child by Friday. We need more parent volunteers to help plan special events for our students going into the 2023-2024 school year - so take this opportunity to join the PTO!

It is officially End-of-Grade Testing week. Students will take their Math EOG exam on Tuesday and Reading on Thursday. Parents and guardians, we need your help. We have been studying and reviewing hard these last two weeks but you have the power to ensure that your child is mentally and physically ready for testing by:

  1. Ensuring students get a quality night's rest (8-10 hours)

  2. Talk with your child. Ask how they are feeling about the approaching exams. 

  3. Ensure they eat a healthy breakfast. 

  4. Remain positive! Staying calm & help them stay calm. 

  5. Practice some relaxation techniques - especially if they get test anxiety.
