Wapakoneta Middle School

This is a reminder of the Back-to-School Celebration tomorrow evening in each of our school buildings. We hope to see you there!

Parents,
I hope that you take a few moments to read over our Back to School Redskin Report. This newsletter has important information and dates regarding the 2025/2026 school year. We look forward to seeing the students at schedule pick-up/teacher name pick-up on August 6, the Back-to-School Celebration on August 14, and the first day of school on August 19. If you have questions after reading over the newsletter please reach to your child's school building.

Sincerely,
Aaron Rex

Last night at our school board meeting we honored five of our retirees. Wapakoneta City Schools would like to thank Michelle Law, Mark Koch, Scott Wilson, Michelle Roediger, and Jan Yinger for all that they have done for our school system, and most importantly our kids. Congratulations on your retirement, you will be missed!

Each May, our 5th grade students are able to learn from professionals about many different pieces of heavy equipment and how to use them properly at "Safety Day". Mr. Brown and the WHS Ag. Dept., as well as other local professionals, gather to educate our students on how to be safe on the job. This year, our 6th graders participated as well after being rained out last spring as 5th graders. A huge thank you to Mr. Brown for organizing this event each year!

This week was National Police Week. We want to take a moment to personally thank our school resource officers, the Wapakoneta Police Department, our Sheriff's Office, and the Highway Patrol for all that they do for our community. We are very fortunate to live in a community with outstanding individuals who protect and serve us every day. Thank you for all that you do for Wapakoneta City Schools and our city!
