West Ridge Middle School

There’s always something happening at West Ridge! 🐾💚

Focus groups. Hands-on learning. French food day. Volleyball. And maybe… a few things that are anything but knee pads. 😂🏐

Our Wildcats are learning, connecting, creating, collaborating, and having fun all over campus.

Just another day at WRMS! ✨

🔵🟢🟡 We are seeing Dots here at WRMS! 🟡🟢🔵

Our Wildcats spent the day making their mark! ✨ Students surprised teachers with shout-outs, showed off the ways they make a difference, and reminded us that even a little dot can make a BIG impact.

And, of course… we had to end the day with Dippin’ Dots! 🍦😋

A huge THANK YOU to our NJHS and WRMS Booster Club for helping make the day extra sweet! 💚🐾

Keep making your mark, Wildcats!

📚 No homework night? Our Wildcats understood the assignment. 😏

Just because there was no homework didn’t mean there was no hustle! Our Wildcats were out there cheering, running, playing, performing, and growing — showing us that learning and leadership happen far beyond the classroom. 🐾💚

No homework? ✔️
No hustle? Never. 😎

We’re proud of how our students show up in and out of the classroom.

Have a great weekend, Wildcats! 🐾💚

More than academics. More than a classroom. More than a game. More than a performance. 🐾💚
At West Ridge, we’re helping our Wildcats become well-rounded by giving them opportunities to collaborate, lead, persevere, create, think, work as a team, and grow.
Whether they’re learning in the classroom, creating through band, choir, theater, or the visual arts, working alongside a teammate, stepping into a leadership role, or competing on the football field, every experience helps our students discover their strengths and become the very best version of themselves.
Because being a Wildcat isn’t just about what you know.
It’s about who you’re becoming. 💚
Unite. Empower. Inspire. Every Person, Every Day.
Persevere

We know it’s a long video… but when you have this much to be thankful for, it’s hard to leave anyone out. 💚

This school is nothing without the students who fill our halls, the staff who pour their hearts into every day, and the people who make WRMS feel like home.

So yes, it’s a long one. Because our gratitude list is even longer. 🐾💚

7th & 8th grade families, thank you for joining us for Back to School Night! 💚🐾 We loved seeing our Wildcats and families back on campus

6th Grade Parents: You’re officially Wildcats! 🐾💚

Before heading to class, our 6th grade parents joined Ms. Bacon for a conversation about one of the biggest parts of the middle school journey: building independence. 💚

Then, they got to step into their students’ shoes—moving from class to class, meeting teachers, and getting a feel for the adventure ahead.

We’re so excited to welcome our newest Wildcats and partner with our families as we help our students grow into confident, independent learners!

Welcome to West Ridge! 🐾
