- The SOLs roll-on here at WMS — with RE-TAKES on ALL exams for ALL grades. Test-takers will be notified by their TA teachers this morning, and should report to the library for testing at 8:30 a.m.
.
A few reminders for Test-takers: you may ONLY bring your fully-charged iPad, a pencil or pen, a book to read, and earbuds ONLY if you have an approved audio accommodation for the test. You may NOT bring: backpacks or cinch sacks; any other electronic devices such as phones, watches, game consoles and the like; nor any water or snacks. And of course, there is zero tolerance for CHEATING.
.
And for all those students who are NOT testing today — we will be following a NORMAL class schedule. Please remember to be quiet and respectful in the halls — especially when passing by the library.
.
Teachers will be monitoring to ensure that there are no disruptions. Any other questions or concerns? Check with your teachers or grade level counselors. Good luck on your SOLs, wolves!
. - Winner winner, chicken dinner! The annual 8th grade CASINO NIGHT is TONIGHT — from 6 to 8 p.m. in the cafeteria. There will be table games, prizes, dancing, selfies, delicious food — we’re talking PIZZA and CHIC-FIL-A!!!! — a raffle for AMAZING gift cards to iTunes, Amazon, Duck Donuts and many more, and of course, hanging out with your best friends.
.
Feel free to dress up — or dress down — but either way: follow the dress code. Casino Night at WMS — get in on the fun!!
. - The WMS Library will be CLOSED today during SOL testing hours. And don’t forget — with the end of the year fast approaching, all library books are now DUE. So look in your backpack, your locker, and under your bed at home — and BRING IN YOUR BOOKS!
. - Hey 8th graders — it’s time to lighten your load! All 8th grade student iPads — complete with power adapter and USB cable — should be turned-in to your TA teacher by TODAY! Please remember to remove PASSWORD and iCloud settings prior to return. See Ms. Solomon with any questions.
. - Calling all WMS athletes! Team uniforms for ALL sports MUST be returned to Ms. Hogwood in the Activities Office as soon as possible. Any student who does NOT return their uniform will be charged for a replacement — so if you don’t want to pay, turn it in TODAY! See Ms. Hogwood with any questions.
. - And finally today, it’s Broadway, Baby!! Live theater is experiencing a new Golden Age — with powerful new productions taking the stage every year. And as student-reporters Allison K. and Sarah C. tell us — many of these shows are getting their inspiration from — the MOVIES. Check it out!
