Update on WMS gym floor:
While trying to assess and resolve the initial problem which was the source of the buckled gym floor, it was determined that the quantity of leaking pipes was greater than originally believed. Due to the condition of the pipes and, to ensure the restoration is properly completed, we have been working with; our insurance company, two restoration companies, two plumbers, and two flooring companies.
Upon assessing the extent of the damage, additional leaks were discovered around the gym area as well as the identification yesterday (12/5) of mold in the boy’s restroom (foyer of the gym). Precautions were immediately taken to quarantine the gym foyer and restroom area until a mitigation specialist can further assess the situation.
Our goal is to immediately and properly rectify these issues so as to resume normal activities at WMS as soon as possible.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mark Goyette (WMS Principal) at 377-3288 or Stephen Schreibeis (GPS Superintendent) at 377-5339.
PARENTS: The 1st day of practice for 7th & 8th grade boys basketball will be on 12/16. 7th grade will practice right after school and 8th grade will practice at 5:15 pm. Remember, your child must have a sports physical in order to participate so get that taken care of as soon as possible.
There will be a meeting for all 8th graders who are interested in playing on 12/10/19 during lunch recess in the gym. The 7th grade meeting will be on 12/11/19 during lunch recess in Mr. Eckert's classroom.
