WGMS families,

School is out for the summer! Keep an eye on our website for updates this summer. Please read this newsletter carefully to learn more about a new procedure for picture day, information on back-to-school supplies, and more!

In early June, we sent an email home with your child's scheduled courses. This will not delineate the order of their classes or identify their classroom teacher but will be an attempt to ensure they are scheduled for the correct courses. If you notice an error, please reach out to Mrs. Bellan or Mrs. Weisbarth. If you did not receive the email, please contact Mrs. Edwards.

The Annual Census Review was sent to returning families. Please be sure to complete by the July 12, 2024 deadline. New students to West Geauga do not need to complete the Census for this school year.

The Upper PTO is holding their first meeting of the 24-25 year. Please feel free to join in at 6pm on July 22 at the Community PD Room in the Board Office

Students will get their specific schedule at Conquer Your Locker which has been scheduled for August 12th for all grade levels. During this event, you and your child will have the opportunity to get their schedule (it will also be in Infinite Campus) and walk the building. 6th graders will receive their locks, while 7th and 8th graders should bring their locks with them. We will be taking school pictures at this event. If your child is unable to attend, we will make up pictures during a re-take day. (See flyer below)

To help prevent congestion, we encourage families to come during the times below:

6th grade:  8-9 am (Last Name A-G), 9-10 am (H-P), 10-11 am (Q-Z)

New Student Orientation 7/8th grade – 11:00-12:00 PM

7th/8th grade:  12:30-1:15 pm (A-G), 1:15-2:00 pm (H-P), 2:00-2:45 pm (Q-Z)

Additionally, the building will be available for students to walk their schedules on 8/13 from 7:00-10:00 am if they are unable to come on CYL or need additional practice. The remainder of the week will be filled with professional development for teachers so please plan to familiarize yourself with the building on those specific dates/times.

Drop Off and Pick Up - Please use this sheet as a guide for morning drop off and afternoon pick-up
