West Middle School STEM students had the opportunity to participate in Manufacturing Day today, sponsored by MiSTEM of Northwestern Lower Michigan. This event gives students the unique opportunity to explore local manufacturing careers and learn how modern manufacturing impacts our community. Our Titans had the privilege of visiting TentCraft and Thompson Surgical. Thank you to all manufacturers in our community who helped make this event possible for all area students and schools by opening your doors, giving of your time, and educating our students!

Time is running out to guarantee your 8th grade student a place on the incredible Washington D.C. trip! We only have 8 spots remaining for the trip, which is scheduled for April 21-24, 2026. If you've been meaning to sign up, now is the time to secure your spot!
What happens when these 8 spots are filled? You can still sign up after the spots are gone, but your student will be placed on a waitlist. Students on the waitlist will only be able to join the trip if a registered student cancels and a spot opens up.
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity! Register your student today.

Our awesome 6th graders are diving into all things WMS! Today, students in Ms. Botkin and Ms. Schmidt’s classes explored the LMC with our Teacher Librarian, Ms. Baumann. They got a hands-on introduction to the space through an interactive scavenger hunt—learning the lay of the land while having fun!

Today at WMS, we welcomed Deputy Core and TCAPS Safety & Security Director, Patrick McManus, to speak with our students about school and online safety.
Alongside our grade-level principals, these experts shared valuable information to help students make safe, proactive choices and to know how to respond or report if they ever become aware of a concern.
We are grateful for their partnership in keeping our students informed and safe!

At the start of each year, we teach students to be safe, respectful, and responsible through Titan Talk lessons. Yesterday’s focus was hallway movement and restroom expectations.
Today, our morning announcements emphasized being safe with words and actions, and reminded students to report concerns by telling an adult, filling out a form in any wing office, or emailing their grade-level principal or counselor.
Our Titans have the power to make WMS the best it can be by choosing safe words and actions every day.

What a great day of learning and collaboration for our East and West Middle School staffs! We love the opportunity to grow together, share ideas, and strengthen the work we do for our students. When we learn side by side, it not only supports our schools but makes the entire Traverse City community even stronger.

We are so grateful to Mundos Coffee for their generosity in helping our staff start their day of Professional Learning with a great cup of coffee. And once again, Shoreline Fruit made the start of our year even sweeter with their donation of delicious chocolate-covered cherries.
Your support means so much to us and helps remind our staff just how much our community cares
