Congratulations to Michael Laska for earning the Golden Apple Award this January! Your dedication and impact truly shine. 🌟 Here's what Kattie McKinnon said:
"Officer Laska has quickly become an indispensable member of the Sparta community. You all know that he is our SRO, but you may not realize all the other ways he works to make connections and support our school community. He works to build community through having the difficult conversations, connecting students and their families with supportive resources, seeking out opportunities in the community for students to shine, and field trips where they can learn/grow. Working with you encourages me to continue to grow not only professionally but also personally, for that I am thankful."

Dear WMRSD Families and Staff,
I want to address some confusion regarding the upcoming Budget Hearing and the Budget Work Session dates.
Tonight, the School Board will hold a Budget "Work Session" to review and finalize the slides that will be presented at the Budget Hearing, which is scheduled for Wednesday, January 8th, at 6:00 PM at WMRHS Auditorium.
While the public is always welcome to attend board meetings, please note that tonight's meeting is a preparation session and not the actual Budget Hearing.
We encourage you to join us for the Budget Hearing next week, where we will present the finalized budget details and address questions from the community.
Thank you for your understanding and continued engagement in our district’s planning process.
Sincerely,
Marion
