Good evening West Pender Middle School families, this is Principal Garza with your Weekly Warrior message. The West Pender faculty and staff are very excited to welcome all students back to school on Monday, August 29th. Homeroom will promptly begin at 7:40AM and we will dismiss our last class of the day at 3:00PM. Our teachers and staff have worked hard to prepare inviting classrooms and engaging lessons over this past week. If you were unable to attend our Warrior Open House this past Wednesday you can access our Student Supply List on our new WPMS Website by clicking the “Menu Tab” and going to “Documents.”
Athletics
WPMS cheerleading tryouts will be held Wednesday, August 31 and Thursday, Sept. 1, 3:00 to 5:00pm in the West Pender gym. To be eligible to try out, students will need an updated physical on file with the school. If you have any questions regarding tryouts, please reach out to Doug Skipper, our Athletic Director.
Wednesday, August 31 the Pender Alliance for Teen Health (PATH) will be on the WPMS campus to complete sports physicals for students that still need them. Your student can pick up the PATH enrollment form on Monday, August 29 in their homeroom class. In order for the PATH provider to provide this service students must turn in this form to their homeroom teacher on Tuesday, August 30.
Transportation
As we begin our new school year, a few reminders regarding bus transportation:
Please allow a ten-minute grace period for the bus to arrive in the morning and drop-off in the afternoon.
We ask that students follow all hand signals that bus drivers make before crossing the street.
Students may only board the bus in the mornings and get off the bus in the afternoons from their assigned stop locations.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding transportation, please reach out to Dr. Tasheka Jordan, our Assistant Principal via email: tasheka_jordan@pender.k12.nc.us
