Dear WDP Middle School Families,
Hard to believe, but this is the final newsletter of the year. These spring months always go by very quickly. Although the end of the school year is near, please be assured that we will finish the remaining weeks of school with the same enthusiasm, dedication, and high expectations that we started the year with. As always, I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well. Information regarding a variety of pertinent topics is detailed below.

P.A.C.T.
THANK YOU to P.A.C.T. for all of their continued efforts and support this school year! Our P.A.C.T. group has raised funds to support a number of student-related initiatives, including the purchase of four new SmartBoards. We’re fortunate to have such a committed group of dedicated parents working for our children. Supportive parents + great teachers = A+ school. Please consider becoming involved in P.A.C.T. More contact information regarding P.A.C.T. can be obtained from the school office.
Best Wishes,
Jim Finley, Principal
