District Announcements
Welcome To World Language Middle School
-
The District’s new World Language Middle School is open! Sandra Santos leads the administrative team at the new immersion middle school. The program will provide a rigorous bilingual language immersion continuum for the District’s two immersion schools – Ecole Kenwood French Immersion and Columbus Spanish Immersion Academy, along with students from Columbus Global Academy, and on to grades 9-12 at Columbus North International School.
“I am excited to connect with students, families, and community partners to build a robust and engaging academic experience that promotes grade-level academic achievement, bilingualism, and bi-literacy in relevant and real-world ways,” said Santos.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, Physical Education, and Health Education and a Masters of Education from Wright State University. She is fluent in Spanish and is an experienced language translator. She was also formerly an assistant principal at Mifflin High School.

WLMS Change to Car Rider Procedures
If you drop off your student in the morning BEFORE 7:30 am, the location has changed.
Please drop off your student in the parking lot, on the side of the building on Sharon Avenue, NOT the main entrance. This is the same place students are currently picked up in the afternoon.
We have seen too many potentially dangerous interactions as our buses pull into the lot at the main entrance in the mornings. We need to maintain clear pathways for our buses to safely and efficiently drop off students and exit the lot. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
You can review the map here or see below for the specific drop off and pick up location. -

Drop-off/Pickup Info
Dropoff is in the back parking lot, which can be accessed from Sharon Ave (yellow in the map below). Upon exiting the car, students should take the sidewalk around to the front of the building (green dots in the map below), and enter through the main doors.
Pickup will also be in the back parking lot, at 2:30 pm. Cars should form a line, and wait for their kids to come out. There will be a staffperson there to help organize the students.
