School Happenings & Upcoming Events

 

Picture Retake Day

Student Pictures were sent home today. Tuesday, October 27 is picture retake day at WJJMS. All students are welcome to come down to the Commons(the Blackbox) between 7:30 and 10:30 at their teachers discretion. We kindly ask that students return their picture packets at the time of being photographed. Not to worry if your student forgets to return their picture day packet. Your student will still be photographed. If your student has not been photographed at, then they must come to the Commons during that time so that they can have their picture taken.
