This Week at WMES
September 13th – 17th

Dear Families:
Thank you so much for your support this past week. It has been great to be back.

Students are doing a great job following our School Rules, and COVID 19 protocols. Be sure to ask them what the school rules are, and what the rules look like in different areas of the school.
      

If you have not already – please be sure to familiarize yourself with Nova Scotia’s Back to School Plan.  
It is important if your child is not feeling well to please keep them home from school.  We all need to work together to keep each other safe and well.
According to current Public Health regulations, optional masking at school begins on Monday, September 20th.  We encourage all students to always have a mask or two with them when they come to school, even if they are not typically choosing to mask.  All students and staff much continue to wear a mask when indoors at school until the 20th.

Please use the Covid19 Daily check before sending your child to school each day. 

Some reminders for this week:
