Warm Springs Middle School Winter Athletics Parents & Athletes Pre-Season Meeting on Monday, October 27 at 6:00 PM in the gym. This is a mandatory meeting for student athlete playing winter sports and a parent/guardian must attend. There will be a presentation from Principal/Athletic Director Jamie Harris, and Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Cheer, and Wrestling will have breakout sessions afterwards to discuss the upcoming season.

Any girl in grades 6-8 interested in playing basketball this winter, Coach Waugh will have flex practices on October 6, 10, 17, 29 from 3:30-5:00 PM. Please make sure you bring practice clothes, shoes, and water bottle. Before tryouts happen on November 3, athletes will need to have a WVSSAC physical and a 2.0 GPA from last spring. Those athletes who are involved in fall athletics are eligible based off of making fall teams.

Every student should be bringing home a 2025–2026 School Calendar Magnet today.

This magnet includes:
Important school dates and breaks
End-of-nine-weeks reminders
A space to track student absences
A QR code for submitting absence notes online

Please place it on your fridge or another spot at home where it’s easy to see. Together, we can help every student know that attendance matters!

Ms. Davy’s 6th Grade ELA class has been hard at work diving into the story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. Using Instructional Empowerment strategies, students collaborated to create plot maps that broke down the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It was exciting to see students take ownership of their learning by discussing key events, sharing their ideas, and supporting one another as they worked through the story. Through this activity, our 6th graders are not only identifying story structure but also building critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence as empowered learners.
