Good afternoon Western Alamance Middle School families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. This is the final week of the second quarter. Please take a moment to log into Infinite Campus to review grades and have meaningful conversations with your student about any outstanding assignments that need to be completed. Please remind your student to check with their teachers to confirm the final day for submitting assignments for this grading period.
PTO: Happy New Year! The PTO has a wonderful year planned and we need your help to make it happen!
Friday, January 16, 2026 we will host the faculty/staff/student basketball game. Please come out and support the participants. Concessions will be served. Please see the sign up genius link below to donate. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805044CADA622A4F58-61485488-staff
The car rider raffle is in full swing. Tickets will be sold January 7th-14th. You may purchase tickets in three ways: Venmo, send in a check/cash to your child's homeroom teacher, or purchase in the car rider line. Winners will be drawn on January 15th. Tags will be sent home on January 16th to use beginning January 22nd. We have four automatic "Skip the line" passes available for $200 each.
Save the date! Our Masquerade ball is Friday, February 20. We will need a large number of volunteers and donations. Details coming soon!
Free and Reduced Lunch Application: Beginning Tuesday 10/7, if students have not submitted an application for this year 2025-2026, they will revert back to a full pay status.
Breakfast and lunch are not universally free for all students. If you would like your child to eat meals at school, you will either need to put money on their online account or you will need to secure a free/reduced lunch status by filling out the required form. Paper forms are available in the WAMS main office or you can fill it out online. Please make sure that you have been approved for free or reduced lunch or that your child has lunch money in their account.
Infinite Campus: As you are aware, ABSS transitioned from PowerSchool to a new student information system, Infinite Campus (IC), over the summer months. This new platform will now be used to access student schedules, grades, attendance, and more. On Monday, August 4, parents/guardians will receive a message from ABSS with instructions on how to create their Infinite Campus Parent Portal account. Please be sure to check your email to get started.
