We've tried to answer some of the most common questions parents and students have in this section.
If you wish, you can browse through a list of all the questions and answers, with the most
recent at the top. What will probably be more helpful, though, is to choose a specific interest area as follows: on the right
side of this page is a "Categories" list. Click on the area your question falls under to bring up a list of questions and
answers in that area only (sometimes there will be more than one page of questions and answers). If your question is not
there, or if you don't see an area for your question, please contact us using the form
below, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Your grade-level counselor will be happy to talk with you about your concerns. Schedule changes do not usually happen once each semester starts, and teacher changes rarely happen at all. It will be important and necessary for you to speak with the teacher and voice your concerns; your grade-level counselor can assist you in this. The grade-level counselor and administrator can work with you and the teacher if you are still concerned after your teacher conference.

The first priority in scheduling is to make sure every student has a complete schedule, and that they each have all four of the core subject courses (Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science) for their program. We do not schedule students around their friendships, except in unusual circumstances (e.g., a student coming to WMS from another school who only knows one student in the school, or a student with specific issues that have previously been discussed with the grade-level counselor, etc.) Students usually have the chance to be with friends each day at lunch. And, this being middle school, old friendships can change quickly, while new ones are created.

Due to the complexities of scheduling 1100 students, and legal limits on teacher classroom and total student loads, we may have to schedule students into courses that were not their first choice.

Your student was given a copy on the first day of school. You can also find a schedule on your student’s Source page. The Registrar will also have one. Finally, your grade-level counselor can print one out for you.
