Flyer for Weld Central Middle School parent event on Internet Safety and Student Well-Being, Thursday, November 19.

Dear WCMS Families,

Please join us for an important Parent Information Event focused on Internet Safety and Student Well-Being! We believe that keeping our students safe takes teamwork between school and home, and we invite you to be part of this important conversation.

We are excited to welcome presenters from North Range Behavioral Health, Keenesburg Police Department, and The Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking who will share valuable information to help families recognize online risks, identify warning signs, and support students in making safe, healthy choices. As we see an increase in risky student behaviors related to these topics, working together is more important than ever.

Choose the session that works best for your family!

Afternoon Sessions- Immediately following Thanksgiving lunch

12:45 p.m. – Families of 7th and 8th grade students
1:45 p.m. – Families of 6th grade students

Evening Session

6:00 p.m. – Open to all WCMS families
Child care and light refreshments will be provided.

We encourage all families to attend, ask questions, and learn practical ways to help keep our students safe both online and in their daily lives.

We look forward to connecting with you and strengthening our partnership to support our students! Please RSVP in Parent Square.

After-School Study Hall at Weld Central Middle School

We are excited to offer a new After-School Study Hall opportunity for WCMS students.

Study Hall will be held each Wednesday from 3:15–4:30 p.m. and will provide students with additional time and support to complete assignments, get help with schoolwork, and build strong academic habits.

A few important details

Study Hall is limited to 15 students each week.
Students must be referred and signed up by a teacher to attend.
Parents/guardians who are interested in having their student attend should reach out to their student's teacher.
Students may ride the activity bus at 4:45 p.m. to the local elementary school.
If your student is not riding the activity bus, they must be picked up at WCMS at 4:30 p.m.
The referring teacher will let you know that your student has been signed up and will communicate what subject or assignment the student will be working on.

We are excited to provide this additional opportunity to support academic excellence and help our students develop real skills for real life!

Thank you for partnering with us to support student success!

Middle School | This Week’s Safety Tip

“Keep Your Hands to Yourself”

As you get older, understanding personal space and respecting other people's boundaries becomes even more important. What you might consider joking around can quickly turn into a problem when someone else isn't okay with it.

RESPECT PERSONAL SPACE — Don't push, shove, hit, grab, or touch others without their permission.

JOKING ISN'T AN EXCUSE — Saying "I was just playing" doesn't make unwanted physical contact okay.

READ THE ROOM — Pay attention to how others respond. If someone tells you to stop or looks uncomfortable, respect that.

DON'T LET THINGS ESCALATE — Arguments, teasing, and disagreements can quickly turn physical. Walk away instead of putting your hands on someone.

USE YOUR WORDS — If you're upset with someone, communicate instead of reacting physically.

RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S BELONGINGS — Don't grab, throw, hide, or mess with someone else's property.

A simple rule to remember:

“Just because you think it's funny doesn't mean someone else does.”

Respect boundaries. Control your reactions. Keep your hands to yourself.

Have a safe and happy Friday!
