Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — plus Wolf Time — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Calling all students and staff! A very special guest is coming to Williamsburg today: the APS Superintendent, Dr. Duran! He’ll be touring the school, popping-into classrooms, and learning about our shared community. So let’s welcome Dr. Duran to the Wolf Pack — and be sure to say HELLO when you see him in the halls.
.
And now for a “wellness tip” from our school clinic! It’s cold, flu, and covid season again — so here are three simple strategies for keeping our shared environment HEALTHY and SAFE! First — WASH YOUR HANDS!! Second — Fully cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. And third — if you’re not feeling well, please STAY HOME. Together, we can stop these germs and viruses BEFORE they spread. See our school nurse with any questions.
.
Up next, we need to to talk about your grade-level hallways. Administrators are finding worksheets, folders, binders, iPads, and even entire backpacks left behind on the floor. Please remember that all personal items should be secured in your locker throughout the day. And if you see something on the ground, please PICK IT UP! Let’s remember to respect our shared environment. Thanks for your help, wolves!!
