Today we will be following the A-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 — plus Wolf Time — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is an A-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.
.
This is National Suicide Prevention Week. We’d like to start by THANKING everyone who wore the colors YELLOW or GOLD in support of National Suicide Prevention Day. If we can help even one person, we’ve made a difference.
.
And today, as we continue to talk about Suicide Prevention, we want everyone to know that it’s okay to ask for help. We all face challenges, and seeking support is a sign of strength.
.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to someone you trust — a friend, a teacher, a counselor, a family member, or another trusted adult. You can also call the suicide prevention hotline at 988. Let’s continue working together to make a positive difference at WMS.

What are YOU doing after school this year? The WMS Activities Fair is scheduled for NEXT WEEK — MONDAY for 6th graders, and TUESDAY 7th and 8th graders — both starting at 3pm in the cafeteria. Meet with coaches, club sponsors, teachers, and participating students — and find the best activity for you! Late buses will be provided for students with a valid pass. See you at the Activities Fair!!
.
Put your creative genius to the test! The annual PTA Reflections Contest is now accepting submissions from all grade-level students. This year’s theme is: “Accepting Imperfections.”Projects can include Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, or Visual Arts. The deadline to submit is Friday, November 22nd. Go to wmspta.org for more information, and to submit your projects online. Unleash your inner artist and submit to the PTA Reflections Contest today!!
.
And now for a “technology tip” from Ms. Stokes-Beverley and Ms. Hwang! If there’s anything wrong with your iPad — including password problems, cracked screen, broken apps, WiFi, or anything else — please tell your TA teacher so they can notify technology support. They’ll have you back online in no time!!
.
And now it’s time for WOLF PACK PRIDE!! Yesterday was Back to School Night — with HUNDREDS of parents coming to WMS to meet your teachers and tour the school. And it was a HUGE success.
.
Special thanks to all our staff for working so hard on making your parents feel welcome; to our students volunteers — the ambassadors, Yearbook staff, and WOLF-TV reporters — for their important contributions; and of course, to our custodial staff for making our school shine.
.
Way to go, Wolf Pack!! [clap]
