Mr. Bernhardt
Thank you for all of your support throughout the school year. It has been a great year! Have a wonderful summer! See you in August!
Classroom Cleanout:
On Monday, May 20 we will be cleaning out the classrooms and lockers. Students may want to bring along a few extra bags to carry their belongings home. Please discuss with your child which supplies you would like to bring home to reuse. If there are usable items they do not need to bring home, the teachers will take them as classroom donations. Also, be sure to check at home for any library books, textbooks, or other materials that need to be returned to school.
Field Day:
On Tuesday, May 21, the students will be able to participate in Field Day organized by Mrs. Musenbrock. A few reminders…
-wear comfortable loose-fitting clothes (avoid white t-shirts)
-wear tennis shoes (no crocs or sandals due to running activities)
-apply sunscreen at home
-bring a water bottle, hat, sunglasses (it is supposed to be hot!!)
Thank you to the parent volunteers that will be helping out as well! We will dismiss at 1:45 on Tuesday, May 21.

Campers who register before May 17 will receive a T-shirt.
Anonymous Alerts:
Wesclin is offering students the use of a free app, Anonymous Alerts. The app is designed to allow users to notify school administrators of concerns they may see throughout the day. The concerns may be related to bullying, violence, drugs, alcohol, strange behaviors, etc. The app will be installed on the student’s Chromebooks. You can also download the app on personal devices by going to the App Store or Google Play. To start the app, enter wesclincusd as the activation code. You can also go online to send a report (https://tips.anonymous.com/wesclincusd). If you have any questions about the app, please contact Mr. Huels at huelsz@wesclin.org.

Yearbook orders for the 23-24 school year are now being taken. Packages start at $22.00. To order, go to https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/productBrowse/2712090/Wesclin-Middle-School/2024-Yearbook/20230829042653990102/CATALOG_SHOP/
Water Bottles and Snacks:
Students may bring a small snack to have after their 2nd Hour class each day. 2nd Hour ends at 9:43. If your child would like to bring a water bottle, he/she may keep it in his/her locker until snack time. WATER BOTTLES SHOULD CONTAIN WATER ONLY. Please be sure to take the bottle home each night to be cleaned. Snacks should be healthier snacks. Candy will not be considered an acceptable snack.
