School funding is complex, and this is an opportunity to ask clarifying questions to help you understand the state, local, and federal funding that affects your taxes!

Best,
Marion Anastasia, Superintendent, WMRSD

Welcome Back to the 2024-2025 School Year!
August 7, 2024
Dear WMRSD Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to begin another exciting year of learning and growth with you and your children. Our first day of school is set for Tuesday, August 27, 2024. For your convenience, please find the 2024-2025 school calendar here, https://5il.co/2b9zh . It includes important dates to help you plan and stay informed throughout the school year.
You should be hearing from your child’s principal soon, if not already, with specific information that you will need for a successful start of the school year. Each school’s handbook includes required policies and procedures to help guide the 2024-2025 school year.
We are thrilled to announce the installation of a new playground at WES. This project was made possible through the incredible support of our community and the dedication of our SAU staff. The new playground will provide our students with a safe and fun place to play and stay active.
Our custodial and grounds teams have worked tirelessly over the summer to ensure that our school buildings and fields are clean and well-maintained. Their hard work has not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for their dedication.
This year's summer school program was a great success. We are proud of the students who participated and the staff who made it possible. Many of our staff members have spent their summer working on curriculum development, teaching summer school, and attending team meetings. Their commitment to improving our educational offerings is truly commendable.
Through the use of ESSER funds, we have added some new furniture to all of our school buildings to create more comfortable and conducive learning environments for our students.
As we embark on this new school year, we remain committed to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for all of our students. We have made significant investments in our facilities and programs, and we are excited to see the positive impact these improvements will have on our school community.
Lastly, we highly encourage your participation in school activities and events throughout the year. Your involvement is crucial to the success of our students and the vibrant school community we strive to foster. We also welcome your feedback and suggestions as we work together to create a supportive and enriching educational environment for all.
We look forward to a wonderful year ahead and are excited to see the amazing achievements our students will accomplish. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school community.
As always, reach out if you have any questions.
Warm regards,
Marion
