Online Courses
2020-21 Wabash Middle School will begin offering online courses for students in grades 7-8. The online course option includes core subjects only. Related Arts courses and PE are not online offerings at this time. Related Arts courses can be added to a student's programming but would require the student to attend school in person for that coursework.
If choosing the online option is best for your family, a WMS representative will follow up your request with a phone call to design an educational plan that best suits your student's needs prior to the start of school. Online courses are taught utilizing the Canvas platform and delivered through your student's iPad. Each course is facilitated by an appropriately credentialed Wabash City Schools educator. Questions can be directed to WMS (260-563-4137) or Mr. Mattern directly at matternm@apaches.k12.in.us.
