Good evening West Pender Middle School families, this is Principal Garza with your Weekly Warrior message.
We had a very successful start to the month of October. Be on the lookout for your child’s individual student reports from the completion of their NC Check-in state testing this past week. These assessments are not recorded as a grade but do help teachers in developing lessons specifically for the needs of our students.
Did you know that WPMS is piloting a unique program with Cape Fear Community College? This month our CFCC career liaisons are sharing with our Warrior community the first monthly CFCC Career Chronicles. This monthly newsletter will highlight the unique opportunities that our partnership with CFCC provides the students at WPMS and this month will introduce to our CFCC onsite staff.
Did you know that October is the Month of Awareness and Bullying Prevention Month?
Week 1: Mental Health Awareness - Students participated lessons on Mental Health.
Week 2: Special Needs Awareness - Student lessons targeted on understanding and respecting others’ differences.
Week 3: Bullying Awareness - Student lessons targeted on the recognition and prevention of bullying.
Week 4: Red Ribbon Week , also known as Drug Awareness Week- This week we will engage in lessons targeted about the importance of being drug free. Additionally, we will end our month of awareness with Spirit Week! Students have been asked to give their feedback in a survey for their Spirit Week picks.
