Welcome to Wrightstown Middle School online!
Wrightstown Middle School is a fifth through eighth grade middle school that is nestled in the heart of the Fox Valley of Northeastern Wisconsin. Our school includes just over 400 of the best and brightest students in all of Wisconsin. Our staff includes over 40 caring individuals who are focused on raising student achievement, making learning come alive, and building positive relationships with ALL students.
WMS operates using the middle school philosophy and approach to working with students. Each grade level consists of a “team” of core content teachers in Math, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Science. This “team” concept provides our students with the opportunity to be taught by a group of dedicated teachers who teach only one grade level. This concept also allows our teachers to develop much stronger relationships with their students and focus specifically on one grade level and curriculum. Each grade level team meets daily in what is called “common planning time” to discuss curriculum and instruction, explore ways to increase student achievement, and look for ways to assist all students in their learning and growth.
Over the summer, a group of teachers and counselors have been working to reinvigorate our behavioral system which has been known as our "Tiger Traits". Great care has been put into this process to ensure cohesion and continuity with the framework that is being implemented at our elementary school with the hope to provide clear direction for our K-8 students. The purpose of this is to make our school-wide expectations extremely clear for all of our students by spending time teaching our students these expectations throughout the school year. Our three basic expectations for the year include: BE KIND...BE RESPECTFUL...BE PRODUCTIVE. Additional information about the "Tiger Traits" can be found on this website and within the Student and Parent Handbook.
I feel very fortunate to be a part of a tremendous community that values education and supports our youth. Wrightstown Middle School is blessed with a great staff that truly puts students first, and I look forward to building strong and trusting relationships with students, staff and families. If there is ever anything that I can do to assist you or any of our students, please do not hesitate to contact me at (920) 532-5553 or via email at caelwaerts@wrightstown.k12.wi.us.
GO TIGERS!
