June 10, 2025
Dear WMRSD Staff, Families, and Community Members,
I am resending this update and a podcast to remind you of the upcoming June 18, 2025 School Board meeting.
https://sau36.org/podcast
We want to take a moment to update you on the planning around the 7th and 8th grade transition to WMRHS.
On Wednesday, June 18th, the District Leadership Team will be asking the WMRSD School Board to support and vote on moving forward with the transition for the 2026–2027 school year. During this meeting, we will present the key considerations outlined below in greater detail. Our goal is to ensure the Board has the necessary information to make an informed decision and that the community understands the vision—as well as the steps that will be taken between now and the fall of 2026.
At the heart of this proposal is a deep commitment to our students. With declining enrollment across grades 7–12, we are simply no longer able to offer the depth and variety of programs our students both need and deserve. By bringing our middle school learners to WMRHS, we will be able to provide more robust educational opportunities, increased course offerings, and experiences that align with the demands of modern learning and workforce preparation.
We recognize that change of this magnitude requires care, transparency, and time. The District Leadership Team is committed to a thoughtful, year-long planning process that places students first and supports a seamless transition for families, staff, and learners. While we understand there are financial considerations, we believe it is essential to first design the right academic and structural framework. Only then will we conduct a full cost analysis, which will be reflected transparently in the FY27 budget.
We invite you to attend the June 18th board meeting to hear the initial presentation of this plan and to engage in the conversations that will guide our path forward. Your voice and your partnership are essential as we work to build a brighter, more opportunity-rich future for our students.
Sincerely,
Marion
Marion Anastasia, Superintendent of Schools
Talking Points for Teachers, Parents, and Community Members
Regarding the 7–8 Transition Plan for the 2026–2027 School Year
🛋️ Purpose & Philosophy
The transition is driven by a student-centered focus, not cost.
Middle-level learners need more opportunities, developmentally appropriate instruction, and restored programs.
Cost savings are secondary and will be clearly defined after stakeholder-driven planning is completed.
High School students should continue to be provided with a wide breadth of opportunities.
🏗️ Planning for a 2026–2027 Transition
1. Academic and Staffing Design
Develop a new Middle School Program of Studies
Update the High School Program of Studies to reflect expanded offerings
Align staffing across WES, LES, and the new 7–12 model
