Weekly Warrior Message from Mrs. Garza

Weekly Warrior Message 10/15/2023

West Pender Middle School

October 16, 2023

Dear West Pender Middle School Families, Good evening, this is Principal Garza with your Weekly Warrior Message. We're thrilled to share the latest news from our Warrior community. Here's what you can expect:

  • New Student Check-Out Protocols: Starting this Monday, October 16th,  the check-out time for students will be at 2:30 PM, which is 30 minutes prior to the scheduled end time at 3:00 PM. We believe this change will allow us to maximize instructional time and ensure a smoother and safer dismissal process for all. If, for any reason, you need to check out your student after 2:30 PM, we kindly request that you communicate this with your child in advance, informing them that they will be a car rider. You can then proceed to enter the car rider line for a timely pick-up.

  • Athletic Updates: For our sports enthusiasts, exciting action is on the horizon, both on our home turf and beyond.

              

 Football Games this Week:

  • Date: Tuesday, October 17th

  • Time: 5:00PM

  • Location: Pender High School

  • 8th grade night!

 Soccer season begins October 19th. There will be tryouts for both boys and girls soccer on October 19th and 20th. All students must have an up to date physical on file in addition to a district eligibility form and concussion form. 

We are wearing orange on Wednesday for bullying prevention awareness week. Bullying is “the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. Bullying can be physical, verbal or psychological. It can happen face-to-face or online.” What can you do to prevent bullying here at West Pender? Treat everyone with respect, tell a trusted adult if you are being bullied or witness someone being bullied, stand up for yourself and others by telling the bully to stop, and get involved! We look forward to working with students to increase awareness and prevent bullying. 

Last but not least, we want you to save the date! Thursday, October 26th, 2023 we will host our second annual curriculum fair. All families are invited to an evening of family fun. We will be providing food and games for everyone. There is no fee to attend this event, we just ask that all students are escorted by an adult. No students should be dropped off at this event without adult supervision.  We cannot wait to have evening of fall fun with our entire warrior community!
