A Note from Dr. Robinson - September 2025

The 2025–26 school year is off to a vibrant start! From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, students are diving into learning, building friendships, and sharing their talents. Thank you to our staff, families, and community for creating such a supportive, welcoming start to the year.

September is Attendance Awareness Month

September is Attendance Awareness Month—a reminder that every day in school matters. Regular attendance supports academic success, social growth, and future opportunities. Together, families, schools, and our community can help students stay present, engaged, and ready to learn.

Construction is moving forward across WAWM schools, with major progress at Central Fieldhouse, new roofing at several buildings, and upcoming HVAC, pool, and safety upgrades.
