We are the MIDDLE
WMS Demons
First Days of School
GPS word of the year is "grow." At Washington Middle School, we are taking it a step further:
Be your best.
Do your best.
Grow even better.
At WMS, staff and students are all working towards this. Always growing. Growth and change takes effort. It takes work. Along the way, we also make mistakes. We call that failing forward. To learn and grow, mistakes happen along the way. We are excited to watch how much we grow this year!
Open communication is very important. Infinite Campus is our number one form of communication with parents. If you have not set up access to an active Infinite Campus account, I am afraid you are missing a lot of information. Please reach out to our Main Office for assistance at 406.377.2356.
General school information is shared through our GPS App. It can be downloaded on Apple devices or Google Play. Be sure to check it out!
We do have a WMS Facebook page. We'd love to see you follow us. However, our Facebook page is a place to celebrate and share short tidbits about our students. It is not our main form of communication.
Fondly,
Katy Kennedy
Principal
Picture Day is COMING!
Mark your calendars! Picture Day at WMS is on September 6th!
Be ready, Demons. Can't wait to see your smiles.
Sports pictures will also be that day after school. Student-athletes will need to bring their uniforms for pictures.
Forms, Forms, Forms
To do our jobs the best of our abilities, we need those forms filled out. If you need another copy, no worries. Just let us know!
Thank you! Teamwork makes the dream work!
DID you KNOW?
If students need to contact their parents, they are welcome to use the phone in the WMS Main Office. Parents are encouraged to call the WMS Main Office a message to their student(s).
If a student chooses to remove their cell phone from their locker, WMS will call parents/guardians to come and pick up the cell phone from school. The student will not be allowed to bring their cell phone to school any longer.
Shout to our WEB Facilitators and 8th-grade Leaders
Orientation Day would not be the same without our passionate, energetic WEB Facilitators, Mrs. Eckert and Mrs. Houck! They have moves you have never seen that would make you get up and dance and laugh. They dedicate so much time and effort to preparing and facilitating the day. We appreciate them so much. They also work hard to create a team of WEB Leaders. These are 8th-graders who are role models for our school. Our WEB Leaders specialize in making connections with small groups of 6th-graders throughout the year. The Leaders go through special training in the summer, to be official WEB Leaders.
Playground Make-Over
Thanks to all the Demons for fundraising last year, Student Council, and NJHS for making this possible.
Student Handbook Raffle
Students are encouraged to stop by the office and answer one or many questions about the policies in the WMS Student/Parent Handbook. The more questions they turn in and have answered correctly, the more chances they have to win.
Even though many school rules and policies are gone over in classes, it is not realistic nor the best use of instructional time to cover every section during classes. Even if students do not enter the raffle, they are expected to read and understand the Student Handbook.

Special shout out to Desi Rilley and Amy Lighter for volunteering their exceptional skills.
What's Behind the Chalkboard?
Volleyball Update
With the great brainstorming and collaboration by AD Murphy, Coach Crockett, Coach Wold, and I, alternative options have been determined for our volleyball season without having to cancel any grade level's season. Trust me, we all tried to reach out to all we knew and probably annoyed some because we were determined to try to find more coaches. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility. Please know everyone is trying to do their best in this situation.
