Today, we will be administering the NWEA MAP test for Reading to the entire school. To accommodate the test, everyone should go immediately to their testing location. Again, you should NOT have gone to TA — everyone should be at your testing location RIGHT NOW.
.
And here’s a little more information about the MAP test. All you need is your iPad, but you may also have a pencil, a water bottle, and a book to read for when you’re finished. No phones, earbuds, smart watches, nor any other electronic devices are allowed. See your teacher with any other questions. And good luck on the test!!
.
When the testing period is over, we will be following a modified A-Day schedule. That means 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.

Calling all sports fans! Today after school is the first girls’ basketball game of the season! It’s a home game against our rivals —- Swanson Middle School. So lets pack the stands, make some noise, and root our team on to victory! Tip off is at 3:30 in the main gym.

Checkmate! The WMS Winter Chess Club is scheduled to begin on TUESDAY, January 27th. Interested chess players may enroll by following the link on the WMS website. But please be aware that there is a CHARGE for this club, so be sure to talk to your family before signing up. See Ms. Hogwood with any questions about the chess club.

Who’s hungry?! The WMS PTA is teaming up with Dogwood Tavern in Falls Church for a restaurant spirit night fundraiser. It’s scheduled for Wednesday, January 28th. Just mention the fundraiser when ordering — dine-in or takeout only — and a portion of your purchase will be donated to our school. Thanks for your support, wolves!!
.
Calling all artists! Interested students are invited to sign-up for the Spring semester of ACT II Art. The Act II art program is a graded class held on THURSDAYS during ASP 1 and II. It’s a great opportunity to work on a range on art projects, including drawing, painting, and sculpture. The sign-up sheet is located on the Activities Board outside of the cafeteria. See Mr. Skrzypek or Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
