1/30/2024 - Williamsburg

Today, we will be administering the Math Virginia Growth Assessment to the entire school. To accommodate the test, we will be following a modified A-Day schedule. That means TA ends at 8am, the test goes until 9:30, and then you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — but there is NO Wolf Time. Again, this is a modified A-Day with no Wolf Time. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
And here’s a little more information about the Math VGA. Most students will be grouped with their Math classes. Check with your TA teacher for the exact location. All you need for the test is your iPad, but you may also have a pencil, a water bottle, and a book to read when you’re finished. No phones, earbuds, smart watches, nor any other electronic devices are allowed. See your TA teacher with any other questions. And good luck on the test!!

Attention all 6th graders on the Exploratory Wheel! Starting today, you will be rotating to your next exploratory class. Theater goes to Family and Consumer Science in room 128; Family and Consumer Science goes to Visual Arts in room 127; Visual Arts goes to Journalism in the Library Classroom; and Journalism goes to Theater in room 228. Staff members will be stationed throughout the halls this afternoon to help you find your way — but please do your best to be ON TIME. Again, 6th graders begin their new Wheel classes TODAY.
.
WHAT ARE THOSE??? As part of our school’s commitment to sustainability, Williamsburg is supporting a Sneaker Recycling Program called “Got Sneakers!!” So if you have any old shoes lying around, don’t throw them away!! Instead, please donate them to “Got Sneakers” by dropping them off in room 233 by this FRIDAY. See Mr. Sundwick with any questions.
.
Give a helping hand to those in need! The Helping Hands club is hosting a DIAPER DRIVE to benefit the Greater DC Diaper Bank. Diapers of all sizes are the priority, but we are also collecting any other baby items that could be helpful to a new mother. Please consider donating and dropping items in the WMS lobby by this FRIDAY!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! The WMS girls’ basketball team travelled to Dorothy Hamm Middle School last Thursday and kept their winning streak alive — taking the game 34 to 21 and improving to a perfect 3 and 0 on the season.
.
It was a great team effort! And we’re looking to win another one today at Swanson Middle School. Way to go, baller wolves!! [clap]
