Parent Weekly 12/5/24

Dear WSMS Families,

Happy Friday! Our winter break is only two weeks away, and incredible things are still happening here at West Shore.  Here’s a review of all the events we’ve experienced together this week: 

Bridgeport Aquaculture Presentation, December 3rd

Our Counseling Staff invited a representative from the Bridgeport Aquaculture to present at our school during the 8th grade lunch wave in the library on Tuesday, December 3rd from 11:00am-12:00pm. Bridgeport Aquaculture could not make our fair, and many students wanted to learn more about this school. 

Early Release Day Next Week

Next Wednesday, December 11th for teacher professional learning. School will dismiss at 12:45

Respect Assembly - 

Mr. Hayes and I met with seventh and eighth grade students this week to review the expectations we have here at West Shore Middle School.  We reviewed the handbook and had a candid conversation about the importance of respect in our school community. 

Chorus and Band Performances 

The WSMS Chorus, Orchestra, and Band held their winter concerts this week.  The performances were fantastic and really put me in the mood for the holiday season. Congratulations to our student musicians and Ms. April Scepanski and Ms. Robin for a job well done!

New SRO Officer Bodnar

Officer Clark is leaving WSMS for a new opportunity in Weston. Officer Paige Bodnar will be taking over. Officer Bodnar is a 9 year veteran of the MPD and has spent some time here at WSMS before. We are super excited to have her be a part of the WSMS team!
