WMS has exciting news! Thanks in part to a donation from the Harrison-Bruce Foundation, our middle school gym will be receiving some major upgrades for the upcoming school year. New court, new goals, new scoreboards, new video display board, and new expanded bleacher areas! We cannot wait for the community to see the new Joe Castrale Gym!
Please be advised that Lincoln School will be closed today, May 20 due to a water service interruption.
All other schools within the Johnston City School District will remain open as scheduled.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
🌟 WASHINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS TALENT! 🌟
Wow, just wow! We are still buzzing from our first-ever WMS Talent Show, held on May 14! 🎉 From the moment auditions started , we knew we were in for something special, but our students completely blew us away during the big performance.
We saw it all: incredible singers, musicians, and even magicians! The courage, dedication, and pure skill displayed on that stage was nothing short of inspiring. ⚡️
To every single student who auditioned and performed: we are SO incredibly proud of you! Thank you for sharing your unique talents, your passion, and your hard work with our school community. You all shined so bright! 🎤✨
Huge thanks also go out to the teachers, staff, and parents who helped behind the scenes to make this historic day a massive success.
👉 Drop a 👏👏👏 in the comments to congratulate our amazing performers!
Last Thursday, our amazing WMS students celebrated a year of hard work and showing up every day with a sweet treat from the ice cream truck! 🎉
We are so proud of our students' dedication to their education. Keeping that attendance up pays off in more ways than one! 📚✨
Huge thanks to everyone who made this sweet celebration possible.
WMS ALOP student-led groups wrapped up the year with a lively end-of-year pizza party! Throughout the year, Miss Ella and Miss Hattie teamed up with Ms. Chamness to lead our 5th graders through fun, hands-on lessons about kindness, compassion, responsibility, and understanding what behaviors are appropriate. Everyone left energized — and plans are already brewing for even more exciting groups next year!
8th Graders celebrated promotion today with a trip to ThrillHouse in Marion. Students enjoyed bowling, Lucky Putt, laser tag, go kart racing, and all the arcade games. It was a great day of hanging out with friends, having lots of fun, and packing in a few more core memories before they head to high school!
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us for ALOP Family Night! You are a vital part of the ALOP journey, and we loved getting to celebrate your students with you!
