Each team will have a specially design classroom dedicated to Science instruction. The Science labs have a larger footprint (1000 sq.ft.)
along with a Science prep/storage room. These 21st century classrooms
will have ample storage space, sinks, and flexible seating to support ALL students.
WMS had an all school assembly to talk about this years 2023 Turkey Trot. This is a long standing tradition for WMS and we are so pleased to donate all of our proceeds to the North Kingstown Food Pantry! Help us reach our goal of $10,000! Go wildcats!
Mr. Gormley from NKHS came to WMS along with some CTE students to talk to the 8th class about some of the CTE pathways they could choose when entering NKHS next year. Such great options! Thank you to Mr Gormley and the students for sharing this information with our WMS Wildcats!
The media center will be the school's learning hub, and will offer flexible and technology-rich learning opportunities for ALL students.
Grade levels in the new Middle School will be located on their individual floors, or “neighborhoods”. Each “neighborhood” will include classrooms, science labs, small group instruction spaces, restrooms, and common learning spaces (pictured above).
The new middle school will feature larger classroom spaces of approximately 850 square feet. These spaces will be more conducive to collaboration, flexibility, and project-based learning that is tied to 21st century learning needs.
The new Middle School plan includes the opportunity to receive up to an additional 20% state reimbursement bonus, which potentially reduces the overall cost from $167 million to approximately $75 million. This opportunity will expire in June 2024.
The new Middle School building will feature a brand new cafeteria, capable of preparing all meals on site. The size of the cafeteria will allow each grade level to have their own lunch period.
The new middle school will feature state-of-the-art energy efficiency, which will bring greatly improved air quality for teachers and students, as well as energy cost savings for taxpayers.
The new Middle School building will feature a brand new 8,000 square foot gymnasium, capable of accommodating all students in one space. The new gym will include multi-use courts, spectator seating, and a divider for space flexibility.
The $167 million School Bond includes the construction of a new, 144,000 square foot Middle School on the Davisville/McGinn site. The facility will house 900 students in grades 6-8. Also included in the bond is approximately $37 million for additional district-wide building repairs and improvements.
The new Middle School building will feature a performing arts auditorium capable of seating 450 people. This space will provide our students with opportunities to showcase their talents and thrive as learners.

Our vision is to design facilities that support educators and students to thrive in 21st century learning environments that provide opportunities for students to not only learn from the instruction provided by their teachers, but also from the design and systems that we create within the school building.
WMS had a great first week! Thank you to all of our students, faculty and staff for having such a positive mindset! We celebrated a great week with our annual ice cream social! Thank you to all of the volunteers and to The Frozen Cow for providing us with our ice cream.
And just like that the WMS 22/23 school has come to a close. As tradition has it our amazing educators do the final farewell wave as the students leave for the summer. Thank you to all of our outstanding faculty and staff for all that you do for our students. Enjoy your summer!
