Williams Unified School District #2

Good Morning WHS Community! If you have not had the opportunity to register and are a returning student to WUSD, please go online and register prior to the beginning of school on August 5th. If you are new to the district, please come in and register in person. Our Chromebook Agreement, Transportations Form, and Key Card Agreement have been updated and should now be open to sign on the PowerSchool registration page. The Key Card Agreement is new for 9-12 grade students. They will be issued a key card to move around campus during the school day. If a key card is lost, stolen, or misplaced please be sure to contact the school so the card's access can be turned off until it is located or replaced for safety and security.

Welcome our new middle school math teacher, Mrs. Cadman. We are so fortunate to have you with us at WEMS! Hello. I'm Andrea Cadman. My husband and I recently moved to Williams and we love it here! I have four adult sons and 5 grandkids who are my Pride and Joy. After teaching middle school and being a Math Specialist near my old home for 33 years, I look forward to teaching WEMS 7th and 8th graders math this year. I can't wait to meet my students and more people in the community.
