Middle School Athletic Update

Good Evening WES Families,
We have the first day under our belt and it was good to see so many students back in the building. The energy of a full student body and staff was missed. We appreciate your positivity and patience as we retool from last year and scale back up.
One of the things we recognized was that drop off and pick up out front took longer than we had hoped. I am going to ask a couple of things for tomorrow. First, for arrival, we’d like to have Pre-K through second grade families to use the lane closest to the sidewalk and have students exit their cars on the passenger sidewalk side. This increases safety. Please make any adjustments to car seats this evening.
At pick up we remind you that the window is between 2:45 and 3:15 pm and we are asking that pick up for our older students, grades 4-8, be more toward the 3:00 time. This will allow for our younger students to build some familiarity and fluency with the dismissal process. Please be sure that you have a placard with your child’s first and last name in your window as this will also speed identification. Lastly, we remind you that WES has very limited space for vehicles whether we are talking about daily pick up or parking for events. Using the bus is the best way to alleviate some of that congestion and wait time in the queue. If you have questions about the buses, please give WW Berry a call at 636-6100.
We will be observing over the next few days and anticipate that the number of cars will decline with the passing of the first day excitement. We appreciate your patience.
We are excited for the start of the 21-22 school year and having everyone back in the building. The school year starts tomorrow, Tuesday the 7th at 7:45 am. Here are a few reminders to make the day go as smoothly as possible:
Students should be seated in their classroom at 7:45 am for attendance each morning.
We are using the same parent drop off and pick up protocols as last year. Car drive- through drop off begins no earlier than 7:20 am and preferably no later than 7:40.
Breakfast is served in the cafeteria from 7:20 to 7:40 am
Proper mask wearing is required by all individuals, at all times while inside the building. Please be sure to pack an extra mask or two.
If you have not filled out your Transportation form online, it is crucial that you do so before Tuesday morning. If your student is attending ASAP at Whitefield Rec, please send a separate note.
Please also fill out the Annual Forms from the link on the district’s homepage. This provides critical contact information and authorization to keep students safe and families connected. Completion of these forms is due by Friday, September 10th.
Dismissal begins at 2:45 and runs through 3:15pm for car pick up; please do not arrive any earlier than 2:45 so as to avoid congestion in the parking lot. Buses begin boarding at 3:00 pm.
This year will come with challenges, but it also holds the prospect of achievement, growth and reconnection. Don’t hesitate to give us a call with questions as they arise. We look forward to seeing everyone in the morning.

WES September Meal Menu
https://5il.co/yarg
We are happy to announce that all meals for students in the WMRSD will be free for the 2021-2022 school year. This includes breakfasts and lunches for all grade levels.
Thanks to the efforts of our Director of Food Service, Mrs. Mel Stevens, she has applied for the Seamless Summer Grant which goes through the school year.
Although all meals are free, we are urging everyone to fill out the free and reduced meals application.
Why?
The WMRSD receives additional money from the Adequacy Aid formula for every student who qualifies for Free/Reduced lunch. This year, we will receive an additional $1,893.32 for each eligible student. And, we will receive additional funds from the Relief Aid Grant for a percentage of students that are eligible for free/reduced meals.
In addition to the additional Adequacy Aid, the WMRSD receives Federal Grant money that aligns with the free/reduced rates of the District. This includes additional teachers, materials, equipment, and supplies for all students.
Applying is easy! Use this link https://family.titank12.com/ to apply, see online menus, and payment options (when applicable). Click on “Apply for Meals Today” Then start typing White Mountains Regional School District- it will auto-fill once you start typing. (There is a sample ‘letter to household’ that shows you what to expect.)
Attached is additional information as well as a paper application, if you prefer. If you need any help, please reach out to Mel Stevens at 837-9031. All information is CONFIDENTIAL.

Whether you are new to the building or a returning veteran it is important that you communicate your child’s dismissal plans with us prior to the first day of school. Please use the Transportation Form link on our building webpage to let us know if they will be transported by car or bus and which bus number. You can contact the bus company at 636-6100 to check on their route, bus number, stop and times. Having this sent to us prior to the first helps avoid confusion and mix ups on the critical first day.
